Words in Action: How Writing Builds Stronger Readers

Do you find it difficult to include writing instruction in your reading block or ELA class? Do you often cut writing instruction in favor of reading?  According to the NAEP data, only about 30% of students are leaving school proficient in writing AND reading. And while the science of reading movement has centered on the issue of foundational reading, both writing and reading are vital skills for students’ literacy.

This webinar will explore how writing can be a transformative tool in building reading skills. Attendees will:

• Investigate the vital connection between writing and reading
• Learn how writing not only positively impacts comprehension but also other aspects of foundational reading such as decoding, syntax, fluency, and morphology
• Explore a proven writing strategy that enhances reading development
• Hear an example of how one school leader implemented a writing strategy across content areas for maximum impact

Join us to gain practical insights and empower your students to become better readers through writing.
