How To Writing & Doing


I love the How To Writing Unit of Study in kindergarten. I have developed a variety of ways to weave in art, reading, writing, science, dramatic play, Handworks, and technology to widen learners schema and do help them develop as writers who see interesting stories and meaningful experiences in the life they are living.

I made some of my own How-To Writing paper, and I posted it FREE on Teacher Pay Teachers:

Publish at all stages of the unit. Share the accomplishments. I tell my students, "Where ever you are, is just where you are suppose to be."

Making Connections to Reading

We make connections to the books we read and the stories we listen to. When readers and listeners make text to text, text to self, and text to world connections, they deepen comprehension and widen their schema.
