Students need to learn how to be effective writers. Students need dedicated instructional time to learn the skills and strategies necessary to become effective writers, as well as time to practice what they learn. Time for writing practice can help students gain confidence in their writing abilities. Time for writing practice can occur in the context of other content-area instruction. Reading Comprehension Journals and Science journals can provide this for the students while still teaching core ideas. Additionally, students can write before, during, and/or after reading, to articulate what they already know, what they want to know, and what they learned. When teachers integrate writing tasks with other content-area lessons, students may think more critically about the content-area material.
