A Pembroke Publishers Title

Organized to meet the needs of teachers, the revised edition puts even more emphasis on the natural stages that children move through in their journey to becoming writers. Based on the work of real K–2 students, What's Next for This Beginning Writer shows teachers how to interpret student work, identify what they know, and build naturally on the writing strengths their work displays. A series of Writing Workshop lessons show teachers how to talk with students to celebrate their work, extend their learning, and set goals for their next piece of writing. This comprehensive book includes mini-lessons that build on the student's work, group and whole-class activities, student samples, tips for keeping parents informed, and a list of recommended children's books.
