Jenifer Serravallo, author of The Writing Strategies Book, is sharing opportunities for teachers to use The Writing Strategies Book as a supplement to a Basal Reading Series. In her letter to colleagues Jen writes;
“From my exploration, I found many opportunities for offering students more explicit strategies like the ones in the The Writing Strategies Book, and lots of opportunities to provide differentiation beyond what a teacher’s guide suggests. This means that although you may still choose to follow the general scope and sequence of a program, use some or all of the student writing activities and/or use some or all of the tasks the resource suggests, there are places where you can differentiate more in order to better meet student needs.”
Throughout this brief guide Jen highlights what she notices in student books and then how to then incorporate The Writing Strategies. Click here to download the free guide: Opportunities for Using The Writing Strategies Book as a Supplement to a Basal Reading Series.
