Virtual Lesson Example: Writing Lesson
Virtual Lesson Example: Writing Lesson
This lesson provides a structure for a writing intervention with examples of asynchronous and synchronous virtual delivery. The lesson is informed by the Simple View of Writing (Berninger & Amtmann, 2002) and it covers the three major components of writing instruction: transcription, text generation, and self-regulation. At the transcription level, the lesson begins with simple letter–sound correspondence. Transcription is continued at the word and sentence levels through word reading, writing, and simple sentence reading and direct instruction in grammar. The final portion of the lesson moves to text generation. Text generation focuses on writing in a larger quantity while maintaining a sense of organization. The student matches phonemes to their graphemes. The lesson was developed by Dr. Natasha Feinberg a Professor at Rhode Island College in Rhode Island and it includes sample lesson slides, a tip sheet, lesson materials and two video examples.

These lessons were developed as part of a National Center on Intensive Intervention Community of Practice with educators focused on implementing intervention virtually during Spring 2020 in response to COVID-19. Participating educators represented Colorado, Oregon, Rhode Island, Texas, and Washington. These activities were developed by practitioners and are intended to showcase example strategies that educators have used to deliver intervention in a virtual environment during the pandemic. Please note that NCII does not endorse specific intervention programs. As such, any programs noted in these documents are used for illustrative purposes only, or as potential resources for source materials (e.g., sample text, graphic organizers).
