[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is wrong with writing workshops, if students can already read and know phonics? Are old school readers and textbooks like HMH better for 3rd-5th literacy?[/quote] Read the friggin' thread. This has been answered and we're not going to type it again just for sweet little you.[/quote] I think the idea is that even if kids know phonics things like explicit grammar, how to build a paragraph and higher level pre fix/suffix words still need explicit teaching. My kids did that as part of writer’s workshops, but the sense I am getting from the angry posters like the “read the friggin’ thread” lady are that writing work shop quality and the explicitness of the teaching that was given was amazingly varied. It seems my kids just got lucky.[/quote]
