Teaching Writing (Grades 2-6)

This book is about change. In 1981, Fiderer and her colleagues began experimenting with the workshop approach to writing, assisted by writing researcher Lucy McCormick Calkins. Moving away from worksheets and single paragraph assignments to encourage students to write whole and personally meaningful texts, they began to see remarkable changes in themselves as teachers, and in their students as writers. Their experiences, documented here, will support you in changes you want to make in your writing program.Adele Fiderer is the author of 'Teaching Writing (Grades 2-6)', published 1999 under ISBN 9780590492027 and ISBN 0590492020.
