Description

Thirteen classroom teachers and seven teacher educators break new ground on the important subject of the relationship between reading and writing. This new ground shows how process approaches in the writing can be used successfully in the teaching of reading. Teachers have known for some time that children's writing and thinking improve as the children become involved in explaining their own writing processes from topic selection to finished draft. In Breaking Ground, twenty contributors explore the value of children explaining their own writing processes.

The twenty chapters in this book reveal:

  • primary teachers who show how writing and reading are used in content areas;
  • new insights into the relationship between the teaching of literature and writing;
  • how skills taught in writing help skills in reading and vice versa;
  • how a state administrator views the improvement of writing and reading;
  • how a professional writer sees the inside of the writing/reading process.
