After organising each child in preparation to write; finding a pencil, sharpening a pencil, locating their writing book with blue and red lines, then settling them into the correct writing position; sit still, all four legs of the chair and on the floor, pencil grip and concentration, I found myself with only minutes of the writing lesson left to teach.

There aren’t too many teachers I know that don’t have the same struggle with teaching writing in the classroom, so we find ourselves coming up with all sorts of ingenious ways to encourage our students to put pen to paper like @the.k.files on Instagram has done with her students.

Lori uses her method of Revising Eyes, little plastic play toy eye balls students place on their fingers like rings that reminds and encourages each student in a super fun way to edit, check, look and correct their writing piece as they go and on completion.
