Connection

The Reading / Writing Connection The research is clear!
Students’ comprehension of science, social studies, and language arts texts is improved when they write about what they read,…

The Reading / Writing Connection More Research
Reading and writing require some of the same knowledge and linguistic processes – such as knowledge of vocabulary, spelling, patterns, text structures and syntax – and so learning and insights in one area can lead to learning and insights in the other.

The Reading / Writing Connection Teachers say….
Without strategies for reading course material AND opportunities to write thoughtfully about it, students have difficulty mastering concepts.

CCR Promotes the Reading Writing Connection
CCR Writing Standard 9:
CCR Anchor 9: Draw evidence from literary or informational texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.
Page 28, CCR Standards for Adult Education 7

Writing Practices that Enhance Reading
I. Have Students Write About Texts They Read
II. Teach Students The Writing Skills And Processes That Go Into Creating Text
III. Increase How Much Students Write
![Page 9: Building a Continuum Between Reading and Writing …schd.ws/hosted_files/nctn2015/f5/Building a Continuum .pdfBuilding a Continuum Between Reading and Writing Presented by ... CCR](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021513/5b0265847f8b9ad85d8f7e44/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Think about your teaching or what’s happening in your program. ! What’s new? ! What is currently happening that supports these findings? ! What isn’t happening that you might
incorporate?

writing? 2. What strategies did we see to
make the organization explicit? 3. What other strategies could we
use?

Textual Evidence “Questions Worth Asking”
CCRS Second Instructional Shift:
Evidence: Reading, Writing and Speaking are grounded in Evidence from the text.
CCR Anchor 1: Read closely to determine what the text says explicitly and to make logical inferences from it; cite specific textual evidence when wri<ng or speaking.
![Page 38: Building a Continuum Between Reading and Writing …schd.ws/hosted_files/nctn2015/f5/Building a Continuum .pdfBuilding a Continuum Between Reading and Writing Presented by ... CCR](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021513/5b0265847f8b9ad85d8f7e44/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Text-Dependent Questions
" Rely on the text for insight and analysis; answers must be traceable to the text.
" Rely on the language and mechanics of the text itself, rather than personal experience or opinion.

Two Kinds of Questions
Describe a time when you or someone you know felt confused by small talk. Describe what you think people should do to get beyond superficial questions. What is another word that means the same as to go beyond something?
Transitions Unit 6 Reading, “Making the Best of Small Talk”
In the article, what should people who initiate small talk consider? According to the author, what can people do to get beyond superficial questions? In the fourth paragraph, what word means to go beyond something?
Non-Text-Dependent Text-Dependent (TDQs)

Which words are key to understanding the main idea and details?

TDQ: Vocabulary
Sample questions: 1. In this article, what does the word ___mean? How do you know? 2. In the fifth paragraph, what word does the author use to mean valuable?

Turn to your handout. Look at the two examples of research projects on p. 5. • What is the topic and level? • Where do students go for the research? • What information do they look for? • What is the end product?
44
Research projects: Basic

• Make connections between reading and writing at every ESL level • Use readings as models for writing • Use graphic organizers to analyze readings, organize writing and review writing • Use text-dependent questions when checking understanding and discussing readings • Use research projects as culminating activities
