Improving Students’ Writing, K-8: From Meaning-Making to High Stakes!

Diane Barone,Joan M. Taylor

Purposeful, realistic … and clearly written….the book renews my excitement for teaching writing, and for new teachers, the text offers suggestions from a voice of experience-all within the framework of NCLB legislation for differentiating teaching based on learners’ needs.

-Julia Weinberg, Instructor
University of Nevada, Reno

Give students the power to express their thinking in writing and to use writing as a process for learning!

How can we improve students’ ability to write constructed response to high stakes content area test items? How can we open for them the writing pathway to exploring and understanding informational texts? How can we help them develop the essential traits of proficient writing? Nationally recognized experts in literacy with experience in elementary, middle school, and university classrooms as well as consulting expertise, Barone and Taylor meld theoretical and practical considerations about writing instruction to explain how to teach each child to:

Self-monitor to improve writing skills

Grow in ability to write successful constructed response

Use writing to process and stretch their own thinking

Prepare for high stakes writing assessment

Improving Students’ Writing, K-8 brings together real-life examples, rubrics, reproducible aids and how-to’s for getting the most out of your writers.
