Episode 75 Volume Volume Volume! Let them Keep Writing!

Getting Students to Write!/ Helping teachers transform writing time and grow writers who thrive!

We all know practice is necessary for all of us to grow in any capacity. Whether you are a writer, athlete, construction worker or musician, the more you practice your skills the more skilled you become at your craft.

I often find that in the classroom, this practice is limited for students as writers. This may be due to lack of time, or the concern teachers hold over managing multiple writing pieces for each student. But limiting writers to one piece in a unit limits their opportunities for practicing all aspects of being a writer.

This episode will help you see why students need to write as much as possible and how to make that happen in your classroom.
