TEACHING LITERACY IN THE

ELEMENTARY GRADES THROUGH


LITERATURE
MODULE 7

Chapter 7

Strategies and techniques that foster the reading –writing connection

1. Use the same terminology for writing and reading. 


When writing fiction, students should use the words of literary analysis:
character, setting, plot, theme, and so forth. So, too, when reading
nonfiction, students should use the traits of writing: ideas, organization,
voice, word choice, sentence fluency, and conventions. By using a common
vocabulary throughout the language arts curriculum, you not only avoid
confusion but also help students see themselves as writer-readers and
reader-writers.
2. Use the same graphic organizers for writing and reading. 
The graphic organizers that help students gather details during prewriting
can also help them analyze details after reading. For example, if students
use a Venn diagram to prepare to write a comparison-contrast essay, have
them also use a Venn diagram to analyze a comparison-contrast essay.
Graphic organizers, after all, are mind maps—ways of making thinking
concrete. Using the same strategy to synthesize ideas as to analyze ideas
helps students understand that reading and writing are opposite vectors of
the same process.
3. Write the forms you are reading, and read the forms you are
writing. 
Plan your reading and writing time to complement each other. If you are
reading short stories, write short stories. If you are writing expository

essays, read expository essays. Each activity deepens the other. A student
who has read “Tyger! Tyger!” by William Blake may love it, but the student
who has written “Wombat! Wombat!” in satirical response understands the
poem from the inside out—and will never forget it.
4. Use literature to demonstrate writing techniques. 
Use literature to show the traits, concepts, skills, and techniques students
are using when they write. For example, when you want students to learn
how to create narrative tension, introduce excerpts from short stories that
use this technique. Then lead a discussion of how the authors do what they
do. When teaching about answering objections, select editorials that do just
that and discuss how the answers strengthen the writers’ positions.
5. Use writing to explore literary techniques. 
When students not only learn about literary techniques but have to use
them in writing, they internalize the concepts. So, if you want students to
understand a literary technique such as foreshadowing, have them write a
paragraph that uses foreshadowing. When you want students to learn
about symbolism in a piece of literature, have them create their own
symbols and use them in a short piece of writing.
6. Be the bridge. 
In the end, though, the best integration of reading and writing in your
classroom comes from you and your students. Programs can only go so
far. They are repositories of models and assignments, but you and your
students are the reader-writers and the writer-readers who bring the
language-arts community to life. If the books get in your way, shove them
into a corner and sit down with your students and just write and read, read
and write. Words are your friends.
