Writing Conferences
Having writing conferences helps the students to improve their writing skills as well as their comprehension.
“Teachers and students should view the reading workshop and the writing workshop as a reading-writing collaboration, where each process compliments and reinforces the other.” (Taberski, 2011,p. 72) “Children who read become stronger, more accomplished writers, and children who write become more proficient, better comprehending readers.” (Taberski, 2011, p. 72) |
