What if I told you moving your ENTIRE writing instruction to small group instruction will turn your students into INCREDIBLE writers? Well, I’m telling you that. I moved from teaching writing whole group with writing conferences on the side to GUIDED WRITING. It was a game changer.
Let's start from the beginning. All of your students come to you at various stages of writing. We wish they were all on level, but they are not. I noticed a trend each year with this and I became frustrated. If am being honest, I was frustrated with the teacher they had the year before. Was that right? No. My frustration was misplaced in the biggest way. Students learn at different rates in ALL subjects. It really begins in the earliest years at home or in daycare. We cannot control those circumstances. Therefore, we cannot rush a child to "catch up."
