| Description | | Presented by Tim Andress, Ph.D. & Pam Bazis, Ph.D.
This session will include an overview of research evidence for how writing can be used to improve reading instruction. Teachers will learn how to develop writing activities to have students remember, comprehend, and synthesize information in their reading. Teachers will also learn how to teach specific writing skills that improve reading skills (e.g., teaching spelling skills to improve word reading skills). The module will also include strategies for teachers to incorporate writing into the day more often (without overloading schedules), which has also been shown to improve students’ reading comprehension.
Teachers will be able to:
Identify and teach strategies for using writing to improve students’ text comprehension.
Teach writing skills to improve reciprocal reading skills.
Implement writing in ways that foster reading development.
