How does shared writing increase a child's understanding of print and facilitate reading development?

The shared writing strategy involves having the teacher write down stories that children dictate. These child-composed stories are a dynamic means to demonstrate the connections among talking, reading, and writing. As the teacher writes down the children's speech, the children immediately see the one-to-one correspondence between spoken and written words. The teacher also has opportunities to teach alphabet recognition and concepts of print. Because the children are the authors of these highly contextualized stories, they can easily read the stories. Shared writing strategies include chart stories, interactive writing, individual experience stories, and the classroom newspaper.

Explain how you would facilitate writer's workshop in a kindergarten classroom.

Each writing workshop begins with a focus lesson. The goal of these lessons is to teach children about some aspect of writing (e.g., how to make revisions; how to add describing words; how to spell words). Writing time follows the focus lesson. During writing time, the teacher talks with individual children about their writing. Here, the teacher might help a child stretch words to hear sounds, add details to the child's drawing, or talk with the child about the topic of the piece. Through conferences, the teacher provides one-on-one instruction. After the writing time, two or three children will share their work with their peers and the teacher. Now, the teacher and the other children can ask questions about the writing.
