Through the Wonders of Writing your child will have a world open to them. Our class will focus on 4 concepts. 1. The process of writing: the five stages of the writing process: prewriting, planning, drafting, revision, and editing. 2. Vocabulary, this can either be through reading or introduction to new words through games. 3.  Types of writing: narrative, informative, and opinion. 4. FUN! Working with these 4 topics, your children will start to foster a love for writing! The students will be able to compete with each other in a points competition, who did better that week in quizzes, or who moved up in a grade level on ReadTheory! Parents and Teachers can talk about what reading skills the students are doing well with and where he or she may need improvement. This class will also have a Google classroom set up for the students to print out worksheets and projects. As students read and write more, they will begin to see how vocabulary works in a world all around them!
