Designing a model writing session invites the children to interact and be involved in the class. Shared reading sessions are important in a literacy programs as the whole class is included in learning writing and reading approaches. Guided reading, in small groups, is made up with children with the same level of knowledge, this makes it evident that research of each student’s interest and knowledge level is important.
