Writers at Work

By Cherry Carl

Writers at Work: Sharpen Your Pencils is a comprehensive classroom resource packed with engaging writing center activities, writers' workshop ideas, and literacy-building strategies for early elementary students.

Created by educator Cherry Carl, this book supports Kindergarten, First Grade, and Second Grade writers through hands-on activities such as tiny tales, story retellings, journals, flap books, wordless book writing, summarizing activities, and peer conferences. Teachers will find ready-to-use checklists, menus, writing prompts, story frames, and publishing ideas that help students plan, draft, revise, edit, and publish their own writing.

Perfect for writers' workshop, literacy centers, guided reading rotations, and homeschool classrooms, this teacher-tested resource builds confidence in young writers while reinforcing essential skills like capitalization, punctuation, spacing, sequencing, and comprehension.

Whether you're building a print-rich classroom or looking for structured yet creative writing activities, Writers at Work is an essential tool for developing strong, independent writers.
