Teacher+support+in+reading+and+writing

=** Teacher Support in Reading and Writing **= Different types of support are provided to students in reading and writing. The teacher provides the students with this extra guide so they are developing in the “zone of proximal development” (Hill, 2006, pg 89). The different types of support or activities can be teacher controlled or student controlled. Within teacher controlled situations the teacher provides maximum support and demonstrates to the children, whilst student controlled occurs as the child gains more control and learns to read and write independently (Hill, 2006, pg 72). In these kinds of approaches, the teacher is able to model, share, guide and encourage student independence in reading and writing. Some examples of these are, guided reading, shared reading, modeled reading, language experiences, modeled writing, language experiences, interactive writing, guided writing, independent writing, and shared writing.
