Teaching Writing with picture books

I LOVE this book! I teach middle school students in special education and will be using this as one of my 3 main guides next year for writing! I love that a book list is provided for each element of writing (this saves you so much time!) and that a model lesson is provided (dialogue back and forth between teacher and students). Highly recommend!!!

Teaching Writing with Picture Books

This book is an excellent resource for teachers who wish to provide writing models for their students using quality literature. I feel it surpasses Raplh Fletcher's Craft books as it provides outlined, easy-to-use lessons for each book or aspect of writing. It is a welcome addition to my professional library.
