Course description

In this course, examine the reasons reading and writing are so difficult for students. Explore the total literacy framework and see what it does to mitigate literacy problems. Since this framework is based on guided reading lessons that flow naturally into writing challenges, learn to successfully transition from guided readings to writing lessons. Once you have encountered the basic framework, investigate a number of ways to modify this basic recipe for a variety of K-12 circumstances, wrapping up with a look at good writing habits and the traits of a productive writing conference.
