Love this recent post by my literacy friend, Tim Shanahan. For years people have asked me about the relationship between reading and "writing". Repeatedly, I have been saying that explicit teaching and practice of writing (printing and cursive), has a positive impact on one's reading comprehension. This blog post and reference to Ginger Berninger's research proves my point!
The more students write (frequency and duration) and the better students write (quickly and legibly), the better readers they will become!
