Interactive writing : how language and literacy come together, K-2

This text explains the practice of interactive writing, an instructional approach in which teachers and children collaborate to produce a written text. The book is specifically focused on the early phases of writing, and has special relevance to prekindergarten, kindergarten, grade 1 and 2 teachers. The authors show how teachers can use interactive writing to teach a range of foundational literacy skills by sharing the pen with young writers: letter learning, phonological, and orthographic awareness, learning the nature of words, building a writing vocabulary, learning concepts about print, organizing and composing narrative and expository text
