Session Description In this session we will briefly explore the theoretical foundations of the reading- writing connection with the Not-So-Simple View of Writing (Berninger & Winn, 2006) and the Writing Rope (Sedita, 2019) as well as the cognitive processes that underpin both reading and writing. The session’s main goal is to translate these research-based frameworks to practice by offering instructional strategies that enhance both transcription and composition skills to advance both reading comprehension and writing.
Learning Objectives By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Build Understanding a. Explain the Not-So-Simple View of Writing and the Writing Rope frameworks and the cognitive processes that underpin reading and writing. b. Clarify how writing contributes to reading comprehension and reading comprehension contributes to writing.
Apply Strategies c. Explore evidence-based instructional strategies for teaching transcription and composition.
Plan for Implementation d. Develop actionable plans for integrating writing instruction into existing literacy programs.
