[LIT] reading/writing ideas

[MaryAnn Richardson]

Hello,

Do you have any ideas on bringing  the reading and writing together?
I have 42 minutes to teach reading and writing. My district has a essential 
skills document. I can teach many of the reading skills that need to be 
mastered with picture books, this way I hope to make way for literature 
circles as the year progresses.

Do you have any ideas for connecting the two?

All I could come up with is using the picture book examples as mentor text, 
have kids write paired examples, try some at home, then apply it to writing 
a paragraph.

Thanks in advance for any help that you can give.

MaryAnn
