The writing/reading connection means more than having your students write under the influence of literature that they have read! Noted author and educator Connie Campbell Dierking shows you how to develop a literacy-connected classroom, including using oral storytelling to scaffold primary reading and writing. She supplies more than 50 mini-lessons--organized by their classroom function--to help you explicitly teach foundational literacy skills during writer's workshop or whole-class and small-group reading instruction. Dierking encourages you to make the most of the writing/reading connection by thinking about some basic questions when you're crafting your literacy instruction: How can I connect the conversations in reading and writing workshop? What can I learn about the readers in my classroom through their writing? What can my students learn about reading through writing? How can I teach young writers to support their readers? How can I teach readers how to use a writer's supports intentionally?

"We want students to be curious about how words work and develop strategies that work whether they are decoding words or spelling them. And our jobs would be easier if students couldn't wait for word study. Yet so many classrooms are stuck in the cycle of unengaging, one-size fits all phonics and spelling worksheets. Reading specialist Jennifer Palmer and literacy researcher Marcia Invernizzi offer better, more effective, more engaging practices. Their suggestions lead kids to not only make progress during word study but also to transfer what they learn about words to their reading and writing. No More Phonics and Spelling Worksheets show us: why skill-and-drill methods and worksheets cause children to struggle or disengage; the kinds of teaching that research shows actually works; instructional ideas for word study can put to use right away. Pick up No More Phonics and Spelling Worksheets, discover practices that better support literacy growth, and help everyone make progress."--Publisher's description.

The research question addressed was, how do third grade students develop as proficient spellers and what instructional strategies most impact this development? The motivating factor for this capstone was the struggle with teaching spelling in the elementary classroom. This capstone includes research on spelling instruction, with findings of the need for teaching spelling developmentally. The key influences of this work were that of Bear, Invernizzi, Templeton, and Johnston (2004) from their series Words Their Way. The method of study was qualitative research, employing the curriculum framework of Wiggins and McTighe (1998). This capstone includes a curriculum, modeling what a week of spelling instruction could look like in a developmental spelling classroom.
