The goals of this group were as follows:
• Create a list of materials that would go into a writing resource targeted at the 3rd-4th grade
level (This resource will be available online and possibly through sugar)
• Once you've gotten the list (which already partially exists from previous group 3), begin
to create some resources
• All resources should be rooted in current best practices for literacy education
The following are the end-of-semester literacy materials developed for Fall 2011.
