About this title

Synopsis

Imagine a literacy-centered classroom where reading and writing are no longer viewed as school skills, but as life skills...a classroom where your students voluntarily and spontaneously engage in discussions about their reading and writing. This book offers you a starting point for realizing this vision with upper elementary grade learners. Follow the authors' story as they developed a successful primary-grade workshop and adapted it into a balanced language arts program for third-, fourth-, and fifth-grade students. Their experience gave them a framework for providing instruction that meets the needs of all learners and instills a lifelong love of reading and writing. The authors offer personal evidence about the success of their workshop approach - including actual conference records, student samples, and teacher feedback - and also present research that supports the effectiveness of the workshop model. You'll be able to draw from their model to develop a customized approach based on the needs of your individual students.
