= = =Welcome to my reading and writing toolkit wiki!=

I have organized my resources in the navigation bar to the left. This is a work in progress, so feel free to leave suggestions or ideas for new resources on the discussion page.
Before you begin please take a minute to consider the "writer's notebook" as outlined by Kelly Gallagher in //Teaching Adolescent Writers.// This idea for a notebook will give your students the opportunity to retain the ideas presented in your mini-lesson's for later use. This is a tool that will make the ideas presented extremely explicit for your students and by recording their ideas and the mini-lesson's in this notebook they will be creating their own reading/writing toolkit.

Also, please take a moment to read a short "mini-lesson" overview by Jeff Zwiers.
