The Writing Rope: Integrating Reading and Writing Instruction
Reading and writing share the same cognitive processes and oral language base. This session presents an overview of The Writing Rope framework for writing instruction (Sedita, 2019) and emphasizes the importance of integrating reading and writing instruction. The Writing Rope represents multiple components of writing as strands in a rope: Critical Thinking, Syntax, Text Structure, Writing Craft, and Transcription. This framework will be compared with Scarborough’s Reading Rope (2006). Details about each writing strand will be shared along with suggestions for how instruction for multiple skills and strategies support reading as well as writing ability.
