Description
Learn an evidenced-based reading, writing and structured discussion instructional framework that is easy to learn and easy to use. This session will focus on the early grades and sentence level writing. The overarching thinkSRSD framework offers a step-by-step guide to help students navigate reading texts and using the writing process. The sub skills taught within this framework, including an emphasis on sentence construction, support the entire writing process from the planning stage of analyzing text and note taking, to sentence development, syntax, and vocabulary enrichment. The hallmark of this approach (thinkSRSD+Sentences) is the focus on teaching students the social and emotional skills needed to undergird the process such as positive self-instruction, goal setting, and self-monitoring. By using these self-regulated strategies, students internalize the method and grow in writing skills to become increasingly independent writers and thinkers. These strategies can be integrated into any curriculum. You will walk away with ideas you can use tomorrow, and when you do, you will see an immediate lift in your students’ writing ability and joy when composing.
Learner Outcome
Participants will walk away with a clear understanding of how to teach writing in ways supported by research. They will learn how to teach all levels of writing from word choice to sentence writing and up through paragraphs and essays.
Credit Reflection Questions:
1) Why is thinkSRSD considered an evidence-based practice?
2) How does the POWeR cycle promote Self-Regulation?
3) How does writing a gist statement build students' sentence-level skills and reading comprehension?
