ABSTRACT: This collection of papers, from a conference on
reading and writing connections held at the University of
Illinois in October 1986, reflects the value of
demonstrating connections between reading instruction and
writing. The book shows practitioners how writing can be
blended with reading instruction and how writing activities
can be used not just to augment reading but also to
establish and bolster emergent reading. The book contains
the following chapters: (1) "Speech to Writing: Children's
Growth in Writing Potential" (Martha L. King); (2) "Forms
of Writing and Rereading from Writing: A Preliminary
Report" (Elizabeth Sulzby and others); (3) "Movement into
Word Reading and Spelling: How Spelling Contributes to
Reading" (Linnea C. Ehri); (4) "Connections in Learning to
Write and Read: A Study of Children's Development through
Kindergarten and First Grade" (Lee Dobson); (5) "Reading
and Writing Attempts by Kindergartners after Book Reading
by Teachers" (Jana M. Mason and others); (6) "Reading and
Writing Development in Whole Language Kindergartens"
(JoBeth Allen and others); (7) "Writing and Reading : The
Transactional Theory" (Louise M. Rosenblatt); (8)
"Connecting Writing: Fostering Emergent Literacy in
Kindergarten Children" (William H. Teale and Miriam G.
Martinez); (9) "Research to Practice: Integrating Reading
and Writing in a Kindergarten Curriculum" (Alice J.
Kawakami-Arakaki and others); (10) "Preschool Children's
Reading and Writing Awareness" (Janice Stewart and Jana M.
Mason); (11) "Success of At-Risk Children in a Program that
Combines Writing and Reading" (Gay Su Pinnell); and (12)
"Acquisition of Expository Writing Skills" (Taffy E.
Raphael and others). (MS)

This is an ERIC database document. ERIC is the National
Education Information Network for providing ready access
to the literature of education -descriptions of exemplary
programs, research and development efforts, and related
information that can be used in developing more effective
educational programs. The ERIC database is currently
available on CD-ROM in the main library (ground floor of
the west wing) at Michigan State University. To locate
ERIC documents in the library identify the first line of
each record (i.e., the field ERIC TITLE NUMBER). ED
following ERIC TITLE NUMBER indicates an ERIC document,
an unpublished research study. Most of these items are
available in the Microforms library, located on the 3rd
floor of the west wing. All you need is the six digit ED
number. If EJ follows ERIC TITLE NUMBER the item is a
journal article. The complete journal name is listed after
the code JOURNAL.
