Writing

How to Help with Writing

-Let it be their writing.  

-Don't help them spell words, instead encourage them to use their strategies to do their best spelling.

-Don't edit their work or point out mistakes.  

-Encourage them to look back at their work and check for capitals and periods, but if they are still missing them that is fine for now.

-Remind them to do their best printing.

-Work on building stamina.  They should be able to write independently. 

-When they "finish" one piece of writing encourage them to start another one or reread their old writing.
