Shared reading activities in large and small groups incorporate these skills by using other pieces of literature other than those from the textbook collection. Writing activities are a large part of our daily program. Children have monthly journals where each day they write several sentences about a topic of their choice. Writing weekly stories about a particular topic or theme is also a part of our day. Correct sentence structure, character setting, problem, and solution, and beginning, middle and ending parts are modeled and shared.
Children have opportunities to share their stories.
This helps to reinforce writing skills and strategies.
