(K-3)
Learn how to teach all the skills beginning writers need—from alphabet recognition and spelling to strategies for self-editing and building coherent text. Schultze recognizes that story and image are good ways to introduce students to concepts; learning the alphabet, for example, can be shown as a rap or jive. Game formats designed to stimulate learning incorporate all aspects of language—talk, phonemes, words, and sentences. Throughout the book, “Making it Simpler” and “Increasing the Challenge” sections will also help you adapt activities to meet student needs.
