There are many forms of assessment, but writing is the primary basis on which a child's work will be judged and Jennings, Caldwell, and Lerner (2010) emphasized that teachers should focus on writing. because reading and writing are linked and serve to construct meaning (p. 338). It becomes important for teachers to teach writing because it is a form of self-expression. We learned in previous chapters that readers construct meaning as they read. Similarly, Jennings, Caldwell, and Lerner (2010) indicated that writers construct meaning by creating text (p. 338). Fortunately, there are a number of strategies for children who can read and write. problems. I agree with Jennings, Caldwell, and Lerner (2010) when they mention that children tend to enjoy writing when the writing is relevant to their own lives (p. 341). Therefore, I would implement independent writing to get my students asked to write about themselves in the areas of family, food, culture, or music. At other times, I also allowed them to choose their own topics. Jennings, Caldwell, and Lerner (2010) called this strategy an effective way to promote writing (p. 341). Encouraging students to share their work builds self-esteem and gives them the confidence to want to write more. These activities also improve reading skills. They need to organize their thinking and think about what information they need to include in their writing. Jennings, Caldwell, and Lerner (2010) stated that it is important to check whether thoughts are communicated correctly, whether thoughts are in order, and whether grammar and punctuation are used effectively (p. 343). I have seen students use teacher writing as an aid to their own work, so I would also use model writing to promote writing. Jennings, Caldwell, and Lerner (2010) noted that as students gain greater knowledge, they rely less on teacher input (p. 344). To differentiate the connection between reading and writing, one must first examine student readiness and interest. Skill level and background information as well as topics that will spark interest and increase motivation are essential to reading and writing. I would pay special attention to the topics I select for my students. I agree with Jennings, Caldwell, and Lerner (2010) in their observation that students are more eager to write when they choose their own topic that interests them..
