I really enjoyed reading your paper on Shelley Harwayne. It is funny that I chose your paper because I just finished reading about the whole language approach and the benefits of writing and reading workshop today. I was reminded how writing and reading go hand and hand. When students are needing help with reading it has shown beneficial for them to participate in writing activities. When they are able to write exactly what they want they are able to read back what they wrote. This helps students learn to recognize new word just by reading their own work. I have never thought of the use of writing workshop to help students learn to read. It is amazing how these two concepts work together.
I really enjoyed learning about Shelley Harwayne. She seemed to have a great personality and a strong approach to literacy. I like her comment and support towards teachers. This year I truly just got into learning about reading through writing. I haven't attended a workshop, but I think it would be beneficial to any teacher. I look forward to learning more about Harwayne throughout our reading endorsement.
Reading about your theorist was very interesting! I found it super fascinating that your theorist seemed to have very similar views as the theorist I researched, Donald Graves! Both our theorist focused much on writing, and getting children to write. In your paper, there was a quote that really stood out to me about writing, "writing should be infused into all aspects of the school day." It stood out to me, because my theorist would consistently say, that children need to be writing in school at least four days of the week. This shows that both theorist were very passionate and determined to get children writing. In addition, I strongly agree with your theorist on this statement. I feel that not much emphasis is put into writing in schools today, but into reading instead. I feel as educators we should encourage and motivate to get our children in schools writing more, because there are many beneficial factors.
