Customer Reviews

GREAT to use at the beginning of the year when teaching writing

This book can be used for all ages, preferrably for grades 3-7 (I used in both K and 5th.). It discusses the frustrations that may arise as we want to be the best writer. Students can connect to the narrator and will be inspired with ideas from the text.

You Have To Write

You Have to Write is a must for every teacher who teaches writing. It is perfect for generating ideas. Students will identify with the struggle of what to write.

Elementary Writing Workshop Mini-lesson

You Have to Write is a great book to use to encourage young writers to look at their own experiences as the launching pad for their writing. Uses kid language and thought to stimulate ideas.

A must have for classrooms

I used this book in a 3rd grade classroom where I am student teaching. The students hate to write, but they loved this book. They realized that they really do have a lot to write about. We brainstormed a list of possible writing ideas for the days when they are stuck. They love to get out their list and pick something to write about. This book is a must have for any classroom!!!!!!
