Teaching Writing in a Title I School, K-3
You know the challenges. In your Title I school you have students who are already at risk. Imagine what could happen if you could catch them up, forestall learning issues before they are entrenched, put them on equal footing with their peers. Nancy Akhavan has done it—in school after school. In Teaching Writing in a Title I School she shows you how to craft a rich literacy world where all your students thrive.
Nancy’s guidance is as practical as it is effective. Her carefully crafted planning tools, lessons, and graphic organizers make writing workshop fit seamlessly into your day. Her classroom workshop routines promote student engagement and provide focus. You’ll learn how to organize units of study using the lessons from your existing writing program. State standards and meaningful assessment suddenly become manageable. You’ll also find effective intervention activities for students who struggle and tips for teaching English learners to write.
This book is a must-have resource for teaching to engage all your students, ensure learning, and effectively intervene when students need it.
