“Teaching and Learning the Recursive Reading/Writing Strategy" illustrates ways to combine research-based, classroom-tested best practices of reading and writing into a recursive strategy for engaging with and creating text. The reading/writing strategy guides students to activate prior knowledge, ask and answer questions, infer and imply, develop vocabulary, and make meaning, as well as evaluate, synthesize, and apply new information as readers and writers. The presentation explains and illustrates the specific phases of the reading/writing strategy with classroom ready learning activities and graphics. The discussion of the strategy includes topics such as reading/writing to learn, modeling and assigning think-alouds for readers and writers, and types of written responses to reading selections.
