Reading and Writing Process

So far in Tuesday Experience I have seen some aspects of all 5 stages of the reading and writing process.

Stage 1: I have seen my students prereading sometimes by making predictions or asking questions about a text they read during read aloud.

Stage 2: I have seen students in my Tuesday experience make drafts in writing and also read during read during silent reading time.

Stage 3: Students have responded some to what they read both during read aloud and during silent reading using pre designed worksheets based on what they have selected to read. Students have been observed revising dratfs they have written as a class and adding an ending to one of these dratfs.

Stage 4: Students have been observed during the writing process editing drats for fianl revisions.

Stage 5: Students have published some final dratfs of writing. Some of the students have done projects or worksheets based on readings done in class.

Wow! Katie your class room sounds wonderful! I was wondering what grade level you are placed in.

Your Tuesday Experience teacher sounds very organized and has created a very structured learning environment. I would like to visit a second grade classroom to see the differences and similarities to my fourth grade classroom placement. In my classroom, the students definitely have demonstrated their ability to complete stages one through five. However, the class itself is very relaxed with little structure. I wonder how my class functions differently than yours. Seeing another class would help me decide what type of classroom environment is best to promote the five stages of reading and writing.

I have to agree with everyone on this one..wow! I think that it is great that you are able to observe the things that you are learning about. After looking over the five stages and seeing the examples that you brought up, was very helpful. By reading your post, I am able to get ideas on how i can incorperate all the stages in my classroom.

Did you do your language arts lesson yet? I am curious if you are doing anything that invovles the reading or writing process. It seems that your children already have a good grasp on the concept.
