In Transforming Our Teaching Through Reading/Writing Connections, Regie Routman shows how to raise students' achievement in reading and writing through a model that interconnects these two literacies. The opening sessions ask teachers to articulate their beliefs about reading and writing and then align them with their practices. Subsequent sessions show how students' literacy understandings are deepened when children's work in writing is used to enhance their reading, and vice versa. Research shows that high-level, on-site, and ongoing professional development is the surest route to school improvement in literacy, and Transforming Our Teaching Through Reading/Writing Connections delivers it directly to your teachers.

Four Reasons to Use RRIR: Transforming Our Teaching
1.     “We have more students that need intervention than teachers to teach them.” RRIR helps principals become instructional leaders while increasing the effectiveness of all teachers, especially in the regular classroom.
2.     “We can’t afford to send our teachers offsite for PD.” RRIR is “virtual PD” that’s much more cost favorable than traditional delivery methods and, as it’s self-contained within the building, all the growth comes from within.
3.     “We’ve already invested out time and resources into a curriculum program.” RRIR works with all types of materials, including ANY core reading program or writing resource. It helps teachers sort out how to optimize their teacher guides.
4.     “We want to set up a PLC but don’t know where to start.” RRIR provides materials and instructions for creating and sustaining a PLC including extensive video of effective literacy practice, professional articles, and step by step activities.
