Chapter 2 Reading and Writing Processes

The Reading and Writing Processes:

A Reading-Writing ConnectionReading and writing are reciprocalBoth are constructive (improve or further develop)

meaning-making processesHave comparable activities at each stageIntegrating instruction improves both reading and

writingGood reading habits and skills improve students’

ability to writeThe Mini-lesson: teachers provide explicit

instruction on reading and writing skills and strategies

“Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.”

Benjamin Franklin

Stage 1 : Prewriting• Choose a topic.• Consider the purpose.• Identify the genre the writing will take.• Engage in rehearsal activities to gather ideas.• Use a graphic organizer to organize ideas.

Stage 2: Drafting• Write a rough draft.• Use wide spacing to leave room for revising and editing.• Emphasize ideas rather than mechanical correctness.• Mark the writing as a “rough draft.”

The Writing ProcessFive stages that describe what students think and do as they

write.

Stage 3: Revising• Reread the rough draft.• Participate in writing groups.• Make substantive changes that reflect peers’ feedback.• Conference with the teacher.

Stage 4: Editing• Proofread the revised draft.• Correct mechanical errors.• Conference with the teacher.

Stage 5: Publishing• Make the final copy.• Share the writing with an appropriate audience.

The Reading Process

Goal=Comprehension Understanding the text and being able to use it for its intended

purpose.

A complex process involves:1.Fluency2.Vocabulary3.Comprehension

The Reading Process5 stagesInvolve students in activities to teach, practice and apply fluency, vocabulary and comprehension.

Stage 1 : Prereading• Activate or build background knowledge and related vocabulary.• Set purposes.• Make predictions.• Introduce key vocabulary words.• Preview the text.

Stage 2: Reading (See 5 Types)• Read independently or with a partner.• Read with classmates and the teacher using shared or guided reading.• Listen to the teacher read aloud.• Apply reading strategies and skills.

The 5 Stages of The Reading

Process

Stage 3: Responding• Write in reading logs.• Participate in grand conversations or other discussions.

Stage 4: Exploring• Study vocabulary words.• Collect sentences.• Examine genre and other text factors.• Learn about the author.• Participate in mini-lessons.

Stage 5: Applying • Construct projects.• Read related books.• Evaluate the reading experience.

Types of Reading

• Independent Reading Students read a text on their own without teacher

scaffolding.• Partner Reading Two students take turns as they read a text together.• Guided Reading (Video) Teacher supports students as they apply reading

strategies and skills to read a text.• Shared Reading Teacher reads aloud while students follow along in

individual copies.• Reading Aloud to Students Teacher reads aloud and actively involves students in

the experience. Try a Think-Aloud (see video)
