Have you ever used Wikki Stix with your Interactive Writing? The kids like it, too! You take the Wikki Stix and have kids "circle" certain things in the writing (like punctuation or short a words, etc). The Wikki Stix stick to the paper!

I'm sure I will be copying some of those helpful charts before I give the book back. <br />I found that the way I was doing guided reading was not correct and I am now doing it the correct way. I had begun by doing it the round robin way and after reading and watching the PD360 videos on guided reading I have a better understanding of how I'm supposed to do my groups. <br />I am doing some of the interactive writing this week and it seems to be going well. The students are eager to be the ones to come up and do some writing which is great!

My small group setting is definitely advantageous for listening to kids read to me. In a two week unit, we spend 3 days listening to the kids read for nearly an hour... my favorite days!!!

Interactive writing worked much better for me. The students did not pay as much attention during shared writing because I was doing most of the talking and all of the writing. <br /> When doing interactive writing the students sat and listened better because they were helping by doing most of the writing. The students also love reading what they helped write!

It helps to build their confidence in knowing they are doing the right thing. If I left them to themselves, we would have major meltdowns. As for an hour, ha! I am blessed to have 30 minutes for guided reading, it is crammed between specials and lunch. And double blessed when I have Lisa join me on Mondays and Wednesdays. I didn't start guided reading until Jan, before then we worked on skill building so we could "read".<br />Chapter 2:<br />Loved hearing how tied reading and writing are to each other. I do a "Chit Chat" every morning that includes the word work for the day and we share the pen using the Mimio (fingers crossed everything is working including my brain). I want to work more on doing shared writing that is more in-depth. <br />Chapter 3: realllllly long chapter and lots of info. But my favorite parts were the charts on page 22 and 27/28. They helped to be a reminder of how it should all work and look together. I plan on making a copy. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14870897721451751283noreply@blogger.com
