Teachers can do many things to cultivate successful writing and reading programs in their own classrooms. Some of the things they could do are:


 * Offer direct instructions of techniques to develop various vocabulary to enhance their writing
 * Connect to prior knowledge and experiences
 * Students should contextualize the vocabulary terms, writing, and reading techniques.
 * Must learn to be comfortable with those techniques and they must be encouraged and motivated.
 * Practice and repetition if necessary. The students should be exposed through practice, exercises, classroom use, and testing
 * Teachers should model an enthusiasm for reading and writing, and be curious about the knowledge being presented.
 * Schools, teachers, and students should be committed.
 * Students and teachers should share the literature.
 * Help students become aware of and look for interesting points in the literature.
 * Offer a variety of reading AND writing opportunities
 * Provide time for students to experience the reading AND writing process.
 * Allow the students to discuss and have peer evaluations with other students and their teachers.
