Introduction to the Reading and Writing Life - Grade 6
In Introduction to the Reading and Writing Life students are introduced to many of the habits of lifelong readers and writers through a “starter” set of exercises, dispositions, and habits essential to the reading and writing life. The unit is intended to provide teachers with a structure and a vision for how to get independent reading, independent writing, and literacy notebooks working in their classrooms. In other words, it is designed primarily to introduce tools and set in motion ways of working that can be developed, extended, and drawn on throughout the year.
