About
Story Studio’s Approach to Writing
The Story Studio incorporates a balanced literacy approach to promoting writing. This means we engage in shared writing, model writing and individualized writing. The Story Studio encourages participants to work at a level that is comfortable for them, believing that this will give them an appreciation for the craft, and a believe in themselves.
While the Story Studio encourages kids to stretch their use of language and integrate different writing traits into their work, we do not emphasize grammar or spelling. We are there to help kids explore their creative potential and experience the thrill of seeing that creativity come to live on the page.
Most importantly, the Story Studio believes that every child has the capacity to write and to create. The Story Studio integrates the six trait model into its teaching and will celebrate the unique strengths each student demonstrates, while encouraging them in areas where they feel more challenged.
