Blanaced Literacy in Grade Three

The students in Mrs. P. Ross's class have a balanced approach to writing in their class. Mrs. Ross uses an integration of the Blended Styles and Structures Writing Program and the Cafe Approach to writing (Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency & Extended Vocabulary). This group of writers is working on a series of ten creative stories. This particular co-authored story is based on their two stuffies having a variety of adventures. When the girls had finished writing their story, they shared it by reading it aloud. With the oral reading component of their literacy work, they focus on fluency. The expression exhibited by these girls as they read is very entertaining! That's a sneek peek into a grade three classroom at Rogers!
