Writing Mini-Lessons Grades K-2

Writing specialist, teacher, author, and national speaker, Dr Carol Barsby, brings knowledge of today's classroom together with educational research in a research-based writing program entitled Components of Quality Composition. This program's mini-lessons are content free. These are not replacement strategies, but mini-lessons which should be used regardless of the newest trends in literacy. The mini-lessons in this book are easy to follow and provide examplars and work pages for students. The mini-lessons can be indexed by modeled writing, interactive writing or independent writing. This book allows all teachers to nurture the ideas of young authors with confidence and know-how. Try these strategies in your classroom and see writing come to life before your eyes.
