Teaching Young Writers: Strategies That Work, (Grades K-2)
Scholastic Professional Books, 2001

How does a primary classroom teacher begin teaching writing? Three years ago it was my pleasure to help two first grade teachers take those first steps into writing instruction.What we learned together about print rich classrooms, interactive, journal, story, and poetry writing became this book. Everybody needs a starting point and this book can launch primary teachers into a successful year of writing with their students.
