- Title
"Nobody but a Reader Ever Became a Writer": Integrating Reading and Writing Instruction to Help Adolescents Tell their Stories.
- Authors
Doubet, Kristina J.; Southall, Gena D.
- Abstract
One of the most powerful methods for helping students tell their stories is to immerse them in the stories of others, helping them emulate what they learn about writer's craft into their own pieces. Both the National Council of Teachers of English (2004, 2016) and the Virginia Department of Education (Robertson, 2017) recommend the integration of reading and writing as best practices for English/language arts instruction. Although this recommendation is well documented, it may not actually reflect the common practices of middle and high school English/language arts teachers. This article explores the implications of a research study on the integrative instructional practices of Virginia middle and high school teachers (Doubet & Southall, 2017). It examines enacted practice in relationship to recommended practice and offers practical suggestions for teachers who wish to weave reading and writing instruction together in a seamless, authentic, and motivating fashion.
