    Guided writing is a teaching method where the teacher models and supports students as they practice specific writing skills and strategies in small groups or individually. During a guided writing session, the teacher may demonstrate how to engage readers or have students apply a new skill from shared writing. Students then practice applying these skills with support from the teacher to their own genre-specific writing. Guided writing helps students transfer ideas into writing, meet audience needs, and draft writing for meaning and content. It is designed to expand students' writing abilities from words to sentences to conventional writing.

    Guided Writing

    Definition:
    Guided Writing is a teaching component designed to teach a specific skill or
    strategy to the whole group, a small group, or individuals and to give
    children practice in the writing. Each child has his own writing materials
    and space. The children do the writing, but are supported as needed by a
    teacher.

    Guided Writing
    Guided writing can be focused at whole text level, sentence level or word level. It will usually

    follow on from shared writing and will be tailored to the needs of each group.

    A writing session may begin with the teacher modeling how to engage a reader through the use

    of interesting sentence starters, powerful vocabulary etc. In the same shared session the

    children use supported composition to practice and apply these new skills. In the Guided Writing

    session, the children further apply these skills in a piece of genre-specific writing supported by

    the teacher.

    Guided Writing sessions can support children to:

     transfer ideas from plans into writing

     apply strategies and skills gained as readers to meet the needs of an audience

     draft their writing for meaning and content

    Guided Writing sessions can be facilitated to further support less-confident writers from the
    shared session, or to extend the shared session to challenge more-able writers.
    Why
    The purpose of Guided Writing is to give children the opportunity to expand their
    writing knowledge from their name and a few other words to more words and
    eventually sentences. Guided Writing is an important step in the continuum toward
    conventional writing.

    Objectives - Students will:


    • increase their ability to write words and use punctuation
    • use writing for different purposes
    • foster creativity and the ability to compose
    • practice writing to develop their voice
    • publish their writing in the form of books, poetry, letters, and other genre
    begin to apply their oral understanding of the Six Traits of Writing
    - Ideas
    - Organization
    - Voice
    - Word Choice
    - Sentence Fluency
    - Conventions

    Planning and organizing for guided writing


    In order for effective teaching of the writing process to take place, thorough assessment and
    identification of the learning needs of the whole class must be ascertained. The assessment
    information should subsequently be used by the teacher to group children with similar needs.

    The groups must be flexible to ensure that needs are addressed. This may result in a child
    attending two different guided writing sessions to consolidate a particular area of learning or to
    extend their learning.
    Guided Writing can take place:

    Before writing

    to support children’s planning and drafting of their work. The previous shared session(s) should be
    referred back to and then extended to further children’s learning in the writing process. Examples:

     the teacher modelling the process of planning and drafting


     developing sentence construction and punctuation
     retelling a known story in the correct sequence
     speaking and listening objectives
     planning a piece of poetry drawn from a model discussed in the shared session
     oral rehearsal: in particular, those children who have poor literacy skills

    At the point of writing

    this can be when the children are beginning to, or have already begun to write independently. The
    sessions should be used to praise efforts and offer constructive criticism in order to move learning on.
    Examples:

     write the first or next paragraph of an explanation text and be invited to read it aloud to the group
     reread for clarity and purpose
     use of consistency in terms of character traits
     use genre-specific vocabulary; choice of phrases, use of complex sentences
     re-visit objectives for writing and check their work against the success criteria

    After writing

    Children should be given the opportunity to assess their independent writing. This can be achieved
    independently or with peer support. Examples:

     discuss writing targets and agree upon next steps/new target.


     support children to edit, proofread and reflect on the impact on the reader
     evaluate work against success criteria
