Patterns of Wonder: Inviting Emergent Writers to Play with the Conventions of Language

The book comes with standards-aligned lessons that can be incorporated in just 10 minutes a day. Patterns of Wonder’s responsive, invitational approach allows young students to play and inquire about language and experiment, take risks, and have fun.

Inside you’ll find:

Ready-to-use lesson plan sets that pinpoint and build across the most common needs of emergent writers

An adjusted invitational process adapted for young learners, and the Phases of Emergent Writing as tools to plan for effective, scaffolded instruction

How to position grammar concepts about print instruction across three overlapping levels of support: oral language, illustrating, and writing

Over 200 engaging picture book recommendations to stir curious classroom conversations

Patterns of Wonder provides a simple classroom routine that is structured in length and approach, but provides teachers flexibility in choosing the texts, allowing for numerous, diverse voices in the classroom. The practice helps students build cognitive recognition and provides a formative assessment for teachers on student progress. Grounded in play, conversation, and most of all, wonder, Patterns of Wonder brings the authors’ irrepressible excitement for inquiry and writing instruction to the ways we support our Pre-K, Kindergarten and 1st grade emergent writers.
