Spotlight Phonics and Phonological Awareness in a Joyful, Developmentally Rich Writing Workshop

This edWeb podcast is sponsored by Heinemann Publishing.
The webinar recording can be accessed here.

Every minute of your writing workshop can do double duty—supporting both kids’ writing development and their growth as readers. Learn ways you can deliberately support skills such as phonemic awareness, phonics, and the development of sight vocabulary while you meanwhile rally kids to put their lives and their ideas onto the page. Vowel charts, one-minute pauses for spell checks, and the habit of clapping out multisyllabic words can help youngsters write so others can read their writing.

This edWeb podcast shows you ways to bring the Science of Reading into your writing instruction in practical ways that you can use immediately. Listen to this session to learn about:

• Studying students’ writing to understand their phonics development and to plan next steps
• Helping kids develop the tools and habits to draw on their phonics knowledge as they write
• Transferable high-leverage small groups that will accelerate kids’ command of phonics skills
• Songs, games, conversations, and partner work that can reinforce phonemic awareness—especially segmenting and blending of phonemes—in playful, innovative ways
• The power of shared and interactive writing to encourage transfer from isolation to connected text

This edWeb podcast is of interest to K-5 teachers and school and district leaders.
