Writing-To-Read
Mrs. Melissa Johnson, Instructor
The Writing to Read (WTR) Computer lab serves
Kindergarten and First Grade students.
Individual classrooms spend about
45 minutes in the lab.
During that time children are
engaged in 15 minute rotations of skill building computer games, typing, and
working in small groups or individually progress monitoring with his or her
classroom teacher.
Children
are encouraged to use invented spellings as they type. Research shows this
technique helps beginning readers and writers develop the necessary skills for
reading success. Hence, the name Writing to Read. Teachers take advantage of the
individualized instruction time and students thoroughly enjoy using the
computers.
