Many teachers find teaching writing difficult, maybe because it can be personal, maybe because many of us find it difficult to grade. But we all realize how important it is. The best way to begin is to develop daily writing routines.
Pre-Assessment: Writing skills are important for elementary students’ continued learning, communication, and self expression in all academic areas. We have created Drawing and Writing activities for the pre-assessment to determine children’s proficiency level. You will want to have a Vooks account to utilize this assessment fully.
Build a Daily Writing Routine: Writing should be scheduled and routines practiced daily. Consistent instruction and time to practice are crucial for children to develop writing skills.
Post-Assessment: Post-assessment is a way to determine what children know about a topic after you teach it. We have created Drawing and Writing activities for the post-assessment to determine children’s proficiency levels. You will want to have a Vooks account to utilize this assessment fully.
