A Classroom Teacher's Guide to Struggling Writers

What do struggling writers really need? The research says they need more of what every student needs: access to high-quality writing instruction. A Classroom Teacher’s Guide to Struggling Writers shares a framework for teaching every child that helps you give frequent, intensive, explicit, and differentiated support to students who struggle.

Curt Dudley-Marling and Patricia Paugh (coauthors of A Classroom Teacher’s Guide to Struggling Readers) draw on a deep, thirty-year research base as well as classroom knowhow. Through observations of master teachers they show how the writing workshop gives you the instructional space to

motivate reluctant writers through genre, topic choice, and collaboration
determine exactly where writers struggle through ongoing assessment
use assessment to target student needs in your minilessons
provide crucial one-on-one support during writing time and individual conferences
encourage growth in skills and craft simultaneously.

Best of all, A Classroom Teacher’s Guide to Struggling Writers illustrates how writing workshop can increase your instructional flexibility. You’ll find information to help you guide struggling writers in grades 2 through 6 in areas where they commonly need support, such as planning, fluency, audience, organization, genre, word choice, mechanics, and revision.
