Many of these strategies we have covered in our readings but I liked this question that it asks. I have said before, that when I write, I have time to think about what I'm saying and decide if it sounds right. I can make changes, too.

Many times, my students and I write together. Not only because they are emerging writers and need support, but because it is the an easier way to learn for the majority of my students. Not many of my 5 and 6 year olds can write independently and need a lot of modeling. I have found that sometimes their best teacher is their peers. They spend a lot of time immitating what they see, wanting to have or do the same thing as their friends, so why not incorporate that idea into their learning of academics?
