Excited to share my new article with @edutopia on helping students be successful during independent reading and writing time. With clear goals, purposeful choices, and supportive self-talk, independent work can become meaningful learning time. Read here: edutopia.org/article/settin…

💭 Once readers can find a main idea, take it further—ask: What’s the author’s angle or perspective? Writers do the same by choosing their own slant on a topic.Reading for stance → Writing with purpose. jenniferserravallo.com

Meaningful independent work frees teachers to focus on small groups while helping students build executive function skills. @edutopia @JSerravallo edutopia.org/article/settin…

🧩 Reading and Writing Are Connected Through Text Structure When readers notice how a text is structured, they uncover its main idea more easily. Writers use that same awareness to plan and organize their own work. jenniferserravallo.com

@jantonelli22 The strategies in both books will work well your curriculum, but I haven't done a correlation document for it. There are standards correlations, though, and you could match the standard in your lesson from BA to the strategies that way.

@JSerravallo Do you have reading and writing strategies correlated to Benchmark Advance?

💡When reading and writing connect, everything clicks. The same thinking behind finding a main idea helps writers stay focused. This week I’ll share tips for teaching main idea through both. Grab The Reading Strategies Book 2.0 + The Writing Strategies Book to follow along!

💡Main idea in reading = focus in writing. Teach readers to find key sentences that show what a text is mostly about—then have writers reread their drafts, highlight key sentences, & ask: “Do all my details connect back?” jenniferserravallo.com
