More about the author

This practical resource provides 40 research-based, classroom-tested, and developmentally appropriate minilessons for kindergarten through grade 3—presented in the context of authentic writing experiences. You can use these lessons to teach students how to

• Generate and organize ideas before writing, and then turn their prewriting ideas into connected text
• Develop writing style by focusing on word choice, voice, and fluency
• Increasingly use conventional spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and grammar to produce more readable work
• Revise their writing for clarity, style, and effectiveness

Also included are charts to help you decide which lessons suit your students’ needs; language you might use when presenting the lessons to students; notes sections, where you can record and reflect on what works and what doesn’t; and reproducibles.
