Each day at Summer School I've been able to do mini-group lessons. During the school year I typically have students write independently, with a 1:1 partner and their personalized accessible writing tools. Working in a group, and getting peer interaction seems to have sparked new ideas and understanding in print concepts for several of the students.
As a group we select a picture we want to write about, brainstorm ideas about what we can and want to say, and then use our alphabets and writing tools to create words and phrases together. This activity takes about 15 minutes, we put our finished work on the "Writing Wall" so everyone can see what we've been up to!
