Join The Reading League Washington for The Not So Simple View of Writing (Berninger & Winn, 2006). The Not So Simple View of Writing (Berninger & Winn, 2006) is a theoretical model on writing that's been around for 20 years, and we can use it to guide our instruction with students. During this session participants will understand the skills needed to become a proficient writer: handwriting as a building block for transcription skills and syntax as a building block for composition skills.
