Narrative Reflection
Through the Lucy Calkins During my student
model of literacy, typically teaching, I was able to
reading, writing, and use the Lucy Calkins
phonics line up in some curriculum. During my
way. This allows the time, reading and writing
teacher to connect what lined up for our realistic
they are learning across fiction unit. The two
the three areas. connecting helps the
students understand a
little bit better how to
write realistic fiction. An
example is in reading; we
focused on the main
characters in the books
they are reading. And in
writing, we focused on
the characters that they
created.
