    The Reciprocal Relationship Between Reading & Writing

    The Reciprocal Relationship Between Reading & Writing

    Our end goal as educators should be to create life-long learners. In order to accomplish this we must value the ability to read and write, because a persons ability to read and write define literacy. It is impossible to separate the two! As an educator I've pursued a literacy-based learning approach in all subject areas. Whether it's science, math, history, and even the arts, the possibilities are endless when reading and writing are at the core of the learning process. This

    Secondary Writing Tools For Mom and Teacher

    My teaching certification is in secondary English/Language Arts. Reading and writing is my specialty, especially with the 7-12 grade crowd. My favorite resources (for mom and teacher alike) will be offered in today's posts. I'm hopeful you get as much out of them as I do. I believe that individuals have the responsibility to learn as much as they can in their chosen field. This requires a library card, a budget for the material the library does not have, and time set aside ev

    My Early Elementary Writer's Favorite Tools (Alongside a Mom Q&A Session)

    I'm going to approach this post as a Q&A session while giving the tools of my writer's (homeschool and tutoring students) favorite writing tools. These questions were asked by moms who needed help with their students writing and each of these products were successfully used to inspire early readers to write what they were learning! Should students learn to write while learning to read? Yes! Writing is proven to boost memory, therefore anyone under my tutelage must write their

    Don't Over Complicate the Writing Process

    When it comes to little minds we are to build a solid foundation in reading and writing. That is our primary goal. Otherwise, the sciences, history, math, and all other subject areas cannot thrive. You may be shaking your head, because you've had success with numbers but reading has been met with difficulty. Here is why I argue this case: in every subject, in every textbook there are text features and writing processes that enable a scientist (for example) to thrive as a self

    THE Most Influential Person in a Child's Reading Life

    I recently read an interesting study where researchers interviewed a variety of students to find out what they said about what motivates them to read. The answer to this question convicted, intrigued, and wow'ed me as a mother and a teacher: "Who gets you interested in and excited about reading?" The most common answer was mother - not teacher, father, grandparents, older siblings, peers - the answer was that their mother influenced them most! To be sure there were children w

    Why Any Old Book Won't Do

    I completely agree with the argument, just let them read what they want! However, if your reader struggles reading, guidance is definitely needed for a few reasons, but consider this one: there is a direct correlation between the reading skills and the desire to read. If you do not accomplish something well, do you want to continue doing it? I know I don't, so when I think of their struggle in that light, I am all on fire to help them find something that will spark their inte
