“Thinking through the Reading-Writing Connection” by D. J. Henry explores a balanced approach to the teaching of literacy by integrating the best practices of reading and writing instruction. The presentation offers camera-ready hands-on classroom activities that prompt and nurture students’ process learning, active involvement, and metacognition by tapping into the similar, complimentary developmental processes of reading and writing. Both have recursive before, during, and after phases, and the outcome of both is that the individual constructs his or her own meaning. “Thinking through the Reading-Writing Connection” builds on these similarities.
