This review is from: Complete Year in Reading and Writing: Kindergarten: Daily Lessons - Monthly Units - Yearlong Calendar (Paperback)
As an educator who has taken some time off from teaching to raise a family, this book has been an exciting resource as my oldest is gearing up for his kindergarten year. It's extremely well-organized and filled with thoughtful ideas to develope reading and writing skills. I love the anchor text suggestions and the many student examples throughout the book. It makes me want to get back in the classroom.

This book has been so helpful! I am a kindergarten teacher, and I was looking for some other concrete ideas on enhancing my literacy block and writer's workshop. This book has been wonderful as I am also continuing to implement the daily 5 in my classroom as well. I love this book!!!

An Excellent Curriculum!,
This review is from: Complete Year in Reading and Writing: Kindergarten: Daily Lessons - Monthly Units - Yearlong Calendar (Paperback)
I have been using the writing component of The Complete Year in Reading and Writing with my kindergarten students since the beginning of the year. The book is very easy to use with units on process, genre, strategy, and conventions laid out in a strategic way. I have seen my students blossom as writers as we go back to similar writing prompts throughout the year. As a teacher I see their progress as they write "longer and stronger." More importantly my students are seeing their own progress. The program encourages students to use each other as resources to grow as writers. In this way, they also grow as storytellers, sharing their ideas with each other.
