The Reading Teacher
Journey with a third‐grade community of writers as they develop their writing identities and abilities in a responsive approach to writers’ workshop. Instruction is framed around the writers’ workshop approach, where students’ choice and voice are centered within extended periods of time for writing, alongside daily mini‐lessons addressing the ongoing needs of each student writer. Knowledgeable about each child as an individual and as a writer, their teacher, Ms. H tailors whole group, small group, and individual instruction to address their unique needs. She fosters a community of writers through her intentional feedback and guidance to support children as they navigate writing partnerships with their peers. She supports them as they work to overcome roadblocks along the way while celebrating the journey as a community of authors.
