For decades, researchers have emphasized the strong connection between reading and writing, both in theory and practice. Multiple studies demonstrate that writing improves comprehension. What has been less clear is what particular writing practices research supports as being effective at improving students’ reading.

Our guest, respected researcher and author Dr. Steve Graham, will discuss the research he conducted (Graham and Hebert, 2010) that illustrates how writing, and the way it’s taught, improves students’ reading comprehension, and the strategies educators should apply to ensure literacy success.

Join us for this lively conversation where you’ll learn from a true trailblazer when it comes to writing and how it impacts learning to read.

Attendees will learn:

How infrequent writing and lack of explicit writing instruction can negatively impact learning to read
Why teachers of reading need to emphasize writing in the classroom in the earliest grades and across content areas
Why writing is a critical skill, important in its own right; consistent writing time and instruction improves reading comprehension
Why more classroom time is necessary for writing
