Concepts about Print Skills<br />
• Write a thank you letter with your class after field trips or special visitors.<br />
“Think Aloud” as you write and look for opportunities to allow the children<br />
to participate.<br />
• Conduct a small group activity where you dictate stories for the children.<br />
Ask them to tell you the beginning, middle and end of the story.<br />
• Evaluate your methods for formally and informally assessing children’s<br />
writing development throughout the year. If you don’t already do so,<br />
consider keeping a portfolio for each child to illustrate his/her growth.<br />
