Steve Peha: Integrated Literacy – Love this! Please read… ‘Integrated Literacy is a framework for K-12 instruction that leverages the complementary nature of reading and writing to make learning easier for kids and teaching better for teachers.’ Steve Peha

This document is excellent and one I think teachers should read. The diagram is simple, yet very effective. Reading and writing are being taught separately and I understand why this is happening, but believe there’s a real need to make links between reading and writing explicit and this document does. Steve’s headings below are fantastic and headings I would introduce to students.

• Writing Community – Reading Community
• Writing Process – Reading Process
• Writing Strategies – Reading Strategies
• Writing Applications – Reading Applications
• Writing Quality – Reading Quality
• Writing Connections –  Reading Connections
