Writing needs to become a priority!Writing in the elementary classroom is key to laying the foundation of writing for students to be successful in the 21st century. As students progress in their academic career they will be asked to write short answers, essays, papers, quick writes, stories, etc. While often direct writing instruction gets pushed to the side or incorporated into other subjects, it is important that students at the elementary level receive direct and explicit writing instruction in order to lay the foundation for their future. Not only is learning how to write using paper and pencil important, students at the elementary level need to also learn the foundation of writing with technology. They need to learn about the keyboard, proper typing skills, and how to use different tools to enhance their learning in all subjects. As educators we need to find the time to dedicate to building writing skills and we need to build the foundation of technology to help create successful 21st century learners.
"But only through the ability to write as well as read can children become full members of a literate society, able to contribute their experiences and ideas to those remote from them in time and place. And only through writing can they learn to work out those ideas and reflect on those experiences in ways that carry their thinking forward" -Henrietta Dombey |
