Welcome everyone to the Craft & Draft podcast! We are so excited to bring you what we love, talking with you about workshop, literacy, writing, reading, and real world teaching. 

It seems that the notion, ‘Students can’t read’ is always at the forefront of public conversations these days.  So much so writing instruction seems to have taken a back seat in the classroom. 

In this episode, Jacob and Pam talk about how writing is the flipside of the literacy coin.  You can not have one without the other.  They both make an argument that student centered sponsored writing assists students with their ability to read.  Jacob shares how he and his principal at his past school made writing across the curriculum mandatory. He speaks about the positive results the school received due to this practice.  

Join Jacob and Pam as they discuss the role of authentic writing instruction and how it needs to be maintained in the Reading and Language Arts classroom!
