Supporting Struggling Writers in the Elementary Classroom (Kids Insight Series) - 5045

Elementary school teachers face unique challenges with struggling writers, whose writing differs from that of more skilled students in both process and product. How can you help students overcome their difficulties and come to view writing as a satisfying experience? This new addition to the Kids InSight series offers a solution by showing how to integrate process writing and strategy instruction to help young writers untangle the complicated writing process. You’ll meet four young writers whom the author observed as they learned to overcome their problems in a fifth-grade process-approach classroom. Christenson identified each child’s unique combination of writing abilities and difficulties, and co-constructed specific strategies to fit their needs. Her book demonstrates how teachers can collaborate with students to identify meaningful, problem-solving activities for writing. This book provides valuable insight into the world of young struggling writers by exploring their thoughts, emotions, and abilities. And, like all Kids InSight books, this volume offers wonderful classroom vignettes, Reflection Points, and suggested readings.
