Interactive Writing | Developing Readers Through Writing | Professional Development Book for Educators | Grade Level K-5

Interactive writing is a powerful practice because it taps into reading and writing and shows children how literacy learning in one area supports another. With this remarkable book, Reading Recovery expert C.C. Bates breaks new ground by showing teachers how to make the link to reading far stronger for students throughout the school day. Teachers discover how to: Set up a literacy-rich environment and manage materials, Engage in interactive writing in whole-group and small-group settings, Use formative assessments to make in-the-moment decisions, Teach concepts about print, alphabetic understanding, how words work, and fluency, and Integrate interactive writing across the content areas.

Dr. Bates has a Ph.D. from Georgia State University in Language and Literacy and is a former classroom teacher and reading interventionist.
