Episode 39: Close the Chromebooks: Five Ideas to Set Kids Up for Success When Writing

How do we support kids with writing while not jumping to use the Chromebooks or iPads? Elizabeth shares some ideas to support elementary kids with their writing that do not require devices.

In order to set kids up for success with their writing, she shares some ideas that have helped her students when teaching writing. They include: introducing mentor texts, modeling your own writing and thinking when writing, using graphic organizers well, thinking about what writing tools you are introducing to students, and have some type of publishing party so that students can share their final writing pieces.
