Writing Tools

During Writing Workshop today we talked about using another writing tool, our alphabet chart. Using this new tool will help us as we work throughout the year on common core standard K.W.3 Writing: Use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to narrate a single event or several loosely linked events, tell about the events in the order in which they occurred, and provide a reaction to what happened. It will also help with a language standard, K.L.2: Demonstrate command of the conventions of standard English capitalization, punctuation, and spelling when writing.

1. Write a letter or letters for most consonant and short-vowel sounds 

2. Spell simple words phonetically, drawing on knowledge of sound-letter relationships
