Interactive Writing
What will be an ideal response?
Teachers use interactive writing to model conventional writing. Children and the teacher collaborate on constructing the text to be written and then write it together. Teachers reinforce concepts about written language as they focus children's attention on individual words and on sounds within words. This procedure grew out of the Language Experience Approach, and conventional writing is used so that everyone can read the completed text
