Synopsis
Based on a profound understanding of the ways in which young children learn, this book shows teachers how to launch a writing workshop by inviting children to do what they do naturally - make stuff., Based on a profound understanding of the ways in which young children learn, this book shows teachers how to launch a writing workshop by inviting children to do what they do naturally--make stuff., About the Authors is about the littlest authors--those in kindergarten through second grade. Based on a profound understanding of the ways in which young children learn, it shows teachers how to launch a writing workshop by inviting children to do what they do naturally--make stuff. So why not write books? Gifted educator and author of the best-selling What You Know by Heart (Heinemann, 2002), Katie Wood Ray has seen young authors do just that. And she wants your students to be able to do the same. Beautifully describing young children in the act of learning, she demonstrates what it takes to nourish writing right from the start: a supportive environment that enables even the youngest students to write respect and sensitivity to the way children really learn inviting instruction that both encourages and elevates young writers rich language that stimulates writing classroom talk and children's literature that energize young writers developmental considerations that shape the structure of the workshop, making it natural, joyful, and absolutely appropriate. What's more, Ray explains step by step how to set up and maintain a primary writing workshop, detailing eleven units of study that cover idea generation, text structures, different genres, and illustrations that work with text. She also draws on data, projects, and the language of teaching used in the classroom of first-grade teacher Lisa Cleaveland. Ray allows readers to "listen in" to Lisa as she helps her young students learn from professional writers, work with intention, and think about their own process. Chockfull of examples of little books by young children, About the Authors is proof positive that a primary writing workshop is a smart writing move., About the Authors is about the littlest authors - those in kindergarten through second grade.

Seller feedback (5,091)
- o***e (1009)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseAs others have mentioned, the seller is quite a character. I ordered the item for $27.95 and received a notification that it was shipped without tracking. After waiting for it and not receiving the package, I reached out to the seller but got no response. I had to request a refund, which I eventually received. Later, I saw the item listed for $372.95. I won’t be purchasing from this seller again.Dylan Dog: Mater Dolorosa by Roberto Recchioni (#256589453850)
- g***n (1037)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseNobody does it better . 5 Stars all around packing shipping value communication just a top of the line seller on EBay this seller stands aloneSands of Time Book II by Sean David Morton (#395568428873)
- i***n (8)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe seller was kind enough to send me a USPS tracking number so that I could have a good idea as to when I’d receive my item. It came a day later than expected (probably due to the cold snap and snow storm here) and the seller was quick to respond when I voiced my concern on its arrival. It was packaged very well, no water damage or dings. Would recommend buying books from this seller!Nationalism by John Hutchinson (#295793632623)
