"Hi Heidi!  First I start off by telling and modeling how fun it is to write.  I infuse this throughout my day... morning message, writer&#39;s workshop...  I tell my students to just put down the sounds they hear (again we do this throughout the day).  I tell them that writing is what writers do and adding words helps to make the message clearer. Since they are already writers, I expect them to try to do this. Now sometimes the letters have NOTHING to do with the sounds, but I still applaud their efforts and don&#39;t point out the mis-match...lol! Having All Star Stations really help to motivate my students... They WANT to be on that wall... So funny!  My expectations are clear and different for each student. Some of my honeys just put a letter or two down. My proficient writers know I expect them to do more, because they CAN do more.  I hope that makes sense."
