E-raamat: Writing Workshop in the Elementary Classroom: A Practical Guide for Teachers

This book is an exceptional resource for both novice and experienced teachers. The book gives practical ways to integrate spelling and other writing conventions into mini-lessons during the course of writer's workshop. It encourages me to journal and reflect on the framework and reminds me to keep pushing forward even when things are not working out the first time around. -- Angel Votion, 5th grade teacher, campus GT coordinator Incorporating the lessons from this book into my planning has made a significant change in my writing lessons and instruction. Through authentic writing opportunities during writing workshop, my students writing has improved. With the routines and structures in place, I can provide my students with true differentiation during conferencing that addresses each students individual needs. -- Denise Almaguer, 4th grade teacher This is a powerful book for teachers filled with everything one needs to get writing workshop up and running with success in the classroom.  It provides a clear structure of the components of writing workshop and practical forms in the appendixes that teachers can use on day one. A must-have resource on every teachers bookshelf! -- Mary LaFleur, M.Ed, literacy specialist, adjunct professor, Texas A&M University-San Antonio Writing is a story, our story. We are a character, or a story teller, or both. Whose story are you going to tell? That is what this book made me think of as both a writer and a teacher of writing. It helped me to create joy in the writing process. Writing workshop helps students to tell their stories stories that help them grow into the person they will become. -- Laura Estrada, 4th grade ESL master teacher, Douglass Academy
