NCTE Beliefs

NCTE Belief: Writing and reading are related. I see this every year with my students. My Kindergarten students begin to learn to read, and their writing improves. I show them new techniques and tools they can use in their writing, and their reading improves. I see my students creating different types of books during writing that are similar to those that they have read with me. These two things are so interconnected that I think we really need to try and find time to spend on them both, growth in these areas are directly related to it. I can't wait until we begin guided reading groups in my class so I can see that spurt of growth in my students writing!
