Shared Writing

Shared writing is writing about shared experiences.
Last week we went for a walk to the kitchen garden and we saw 2 dead rats.  The children were very interested in this!
The process for shared writing is together we think of a story/sentence to write.  Then we think of the initial sound of each word - we find it on our alphabet chart, and I write it.  Some children can write on their own, others copy me.  
The class really enjoy this time and are very proud of their writing efforts. 

We saw two dead rats.
We could hear the beginning and end sounds for rats!
