Arkansas Foundations of Reading Test (FORT)

During interactive writing experiences, students are actively engaged in the writing process, often participating alongside the teacher to compose text. This type of engagement involves students sharing ideas, making decisions about what to write, and physically writing words or sentences themselves with the teacher's support. The teacher provides guidance and scaffolding, facilitating discussions that help students to think critically about their writing choices and the elements of writing itself.

This engagement deepens students' understanding of writing concepts, such as spelling, grammar, and punctuation, and encourages collaboration and communication among peers. Active participation fosters a sense of ownership and investment in the learning process, making it a powerful tool for literacy development.
