Writing+Conference

=Writing Conference =

A writing conference is a way for teachers to help children improve their writing by giving them a series of questions. These questions will help them to edit their work and give them ideas that previously may not have been considered by the child. Eventually after considering these questions and practicing them with different pieces of work, writers would learn to self-conference without the help of the teacher.
