Two Writing Teachers

I know that this blog technically is about reading, but as writing is also a HUGE part of becoming literate, I couldn't pass up sharing this link. Ruth Ayers and Stacey Schubitz have created a blog all about writing workshop. Ruth Ayers is a writing coach from Indiana and Stacey is a reading specialist now living in Pennsylvania. Two Writing Teachers is a blog dedicated to writing, however this is infused with reading, as there are mentor texts to be used that could also be used in reading workshop, and there are also links to reading websites. The first blog entry that caught my eye on was today's entry about the use of flip cameras in the classroom to capture moments in writing workshop... what a way to bring your classroom into the 21st Century! They also have a companion website with resources worth checking out!
