[Andrea · Rating 4 out of 5]

I found this book to be really interesting. The  strategies outlined here will definitely make an appearance in my classroom this year, and so will many more of her suggestions. I would recommend this book to any teaching looking to add more writing into his/her classroom, particularly English teachers. I think this book is applicable to any grade level, though perhaps more useful to upper elementary and older classrooms. I’m really glad that I read it, and I feel energized for writing in my classroom next year.
