Reading & Writing Tips

IS IT A STRUGGLE TO GET YOUR CHILDREN TO WRITE about their history or science?
If you are like me, sometimes getting my children to write just two or three sentences is so difficult. Here is an idea from Reading to Learn in the Content Areas (Richardson, et al., 2015) that gets kids writing without the complaining:
After reading a passage, discuss it with the student. Then, have the student dictate to you some sentences regarding the passage. You write these sentences modeling good writing form.  Afterwards, the teacher and student discuss a second time. THEN, have the student write 2 or 3 additional sentences on the end of the dictated piece. Slowly increase the amount of writing the student is responsible for over a year.
You will be amazed at how much easier this is for your students than staring at a blank piece of paper.
