Synopsis
For courses in which the focus is on language arts/writing or the teaching of writing.
Accessible and reader-friendly, this is the definitive text on teaching writing to children in grades K-8, the only title on the market to thoroughly address both the process and the product of writing. The author covers strategies for teaching prewriting, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing through writing workshop, literature focus units, and thematic units; techniques for helping children develop ideas, organize writing, choose vocabulary, apply stylistic devices, and correct mechanical errors; and five levels of scaffolded composition instruction: modeled, shared, interactive, guided, and independent writing. Numerous authentic children's writing samples are interspersed throughout the material, along with the author's well-respected minilessons and thoughtful discussion of performance-based tools for assessment.
