- Summary:
-
Noting that reading and writing should be interactive in the same way that listening and learning to speak are interactive, this report describes several teaching methods designed to integrate the teaching of reading and writing on elementary and secondary levels. The first section examines the use of dialogue journals in a third and fourth grade classroom, and argues that better writing and reading instruction occurs when student and teacher come to know one another through the journals. Subsections discuss (1) building a classroom environment that fosters reading and writing; (2) collaborative learning to produce a book written by students; (3) letter writing as an assignment for basic writers; (4) an assignment to create a tourist guide of San Francisco for teenagers; and (5) workshops to help students understand what writers do. The second section outlines features of effective classroom practices, such as verbal stimuli and flexibility to allow group or individual work. This section also examines the administrator role in such writing programs. The third section examines literature pertinent to the reading writing relationship, while the final section suggests ways in which teachers can bring about positive change in the way reading and writing are taught. (Three pages of references are included.) (JC)
