The lesson plans are done for you, and they are step by step! There are modeled pieces of writing included and bulletin board display ideas. There are skills imbedded in the lesson.

There are also additional writing ideas which can convert the 10 weeks into 30 weeks of writing practice.

Great for new teachers! Great for those of us who are uncomfortable teaching writing, because we are unsure of our own writing quality.

I LOVE this book.

I have a third and fourth grade classroom. I find the lessons contained in this book provide easy to follow, day by day steps that the children enjoy writing about. Students who had barely written three sentences are now writing five paragraphs with all the components of a good paragraph. I highly recommend this book, which can be adapted to any classroom, to increase your students writing skills!!
