Grade(s):2~4
Description:
Learning is a cumulative, ongoing experience. Writing strategies
should be taught in a laboratory environment where students feel
free to experiment with different elements of writing. As a result,
students become better writers.
Modeled after the original Writing Lab, this text is designed to
introduce younger students, as early as grade 2, to the
fundamentals of good writing. Lessons in focus, fluency, clarity,
elaboration, style, voice, organization of ideas, and revision are
written at an appropriate level of instruction for early writers. The
interactive teaching model encourages students to talk about
writing as they work in ways that develop their understanding of
writing strategies and revision.
An hour a week is all it takes for students to develop a love of
writing while they become fluent, strategic writers. This is an easy-to-
use, powerful component of any language program.
For teaching advanced writing skills, we recommend the original
Writing Lab and Advancing Writing Skills: A Guide to Authentic
Writing.
