1. What are the teaching implications of thinking that Sean is a writer and that Sean is four year old?
2. What if the teacher put more emphasis on the fact that Sean is four years old and cannot make the correct letter formations and therefore does not encourage Sean to write books?
3. What if the teacher pushes Sean to hard to make books and then forgets that Sean is what is developmentally appropriate for a four year old?
4. What if Sean doesn’t speak much English? Does that mean Sean cannot be a writer and illustrator?

SIDE-BY-SIDE TEACHING
“What is your book about?” is one of the most important questions that a teacher asks as they interact with young writers.If a child has something on paper and doesn’t know how to talk about it, you might name what you see: “It looks like you’ve drawn a big sun there.”
175Ray, K. W., & Glover, M. (2008). Already ready: nurturing writers in preschool and kindergarten. Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann. (p. 162)
![Page 176: You Could Make a Book About That. Author, Illustrator, and publisher: Sharon Kruger, M.Ed. Region 5 ESC, School Readiness Integration Program Coordinator.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f155503460f94c2a863/html5/thumbnails/176.jpg)
SIDE-BY-SIDE TEACHING
“If you don’t have an idea of what it might represent, you might say, “My, it’s very purple and has lines swirling all around” This may lead the child to say, “Yes, it’s my necklace”.
176Ray, K. W., & Glover, M. (2008). Already ready: nurturing writers in preschool and kindergarten. Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann. (p. 163)
![Page 177: You Could Make a Book About That. Author, Illustrator, and publisher: Sharon Kruger, M.Ed. Region 5 ESC, School Readiness Integration Program Coordinator.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56649f155503460f94c2a863/html5/thumbnails/177.jpg)
SIDE-BY-SIDE TEACHING
Sometimes the child tells you want is represented on each page, but the topic changes and the book is not really about any one thing. You might find a common link between ideas and naming it for the child. For example, if page one has a bicycle, page two an ice cream cone, page three a baby sister and page four a butterfly, you might ask, “Are these all things that you like?”

SIDE-BY-SIDE TEACHING
You are not asking for writing that is right. You want the child to use whatever thinking he has about what writing is and what writing does to use it in books.

SIDE-BY-SIDE TEACHING
If a child is making letter strings or random letter formations, to add writing you might say: “Do you think you can add some writing to this page?” This is best said after some talk about what is representative in the drawing.
179Ray, K. W., & Glover, M. (2008). Already ready: nurturing writers in preschool and kindergarten. Portsmouth, NH: Heinemann. (p. 164)

SIDE-BY-SIDE TEACHING
Remind the child that the book you use during read aloud has pictures and writings.If adding writing is new to the child and she is tentative about it, you might suggest to add writing to just the cover or one or two pages rather than to the whole book.Observation is critical to knowing how much to nudge or push.
