The Big Book of Ready-to-Go Writing Lessons (Grades 3-6)

Excellent short and long lessons. The variety of writing assignments is surprising for a book of this size.

Great book!

Bought this book to try to help my son get interested in writing, which is something he struggles with a bit. Offers a lot of creative ideas which tie writing into real life (like phone messages) as well as fantasy exercises (describe your a fantasy hideout). It has "exercises" to get them started and break the process down into steps....I'm not a teacher but a former journalist and I know half the battle is getting started.

The BIG Book of Ready-to-Go Writing Lessons

What a find! Definitely a valuable resource for any teacher teaching grades 3-6. "If they can read, they can write". This magical addition to my bookshelf covers every imaginable type of writing that a student could run across (from blurbs to phone messages). It then provides very friendly graphic organizers to help put this writing into play. Lots of extensions to carry young writers BEYOND in their writing development.
