5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Path to start 6+1 Trait writing, June 14, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Getting Started With the Traits: K-2: Writing Lessons, Activities, Scoring Guides, and More for Successfully Launching Trait-Based Instruction in Your Classroom (Paperback)
Even though I teach 4th grade, I am using this book in conjunction with the grades 3 - 5 versionGetting Started With the Traits: 3-5: Writing Lessons, Activities, Scoring Guides, and More for Successfully Launching Trait-Based Instruction in Your Classroom. This version gives wonderful literature based ways to launch a 6+1 Traits curriculum in the classroom. Once my students have mastered the basics, I will move them up to the 3 - 5 activities.

This is also a great resource to allow for differentiating your lessons to reach all learners at their level.

I highly recommend this and the 3 - 5 version together.

3.0 out of 5 stars Another "Reinvent the Wheel!", October 1, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Getting Started With the Traits: K-2: Writing Lessons, Activities, Scoring Guides, and More for Successfully Launching Trait-Based Instruction in Your Classroom (Paperback)
Yet another resource available to teach the teacher how to teacher kids to write! Lots of buzz words in it (traits, scoring guide, etc. etc. etc.) but I did find some a few suggestions for writing activities to use in the classroom. I used the book for kindergarten and as usual the book concentrated more on second grade which made it not so user friendly with limited suggestions for the early learner. Also I considered it very expensive for what I got out of it. I retired this year ... YEAH! ... so now I have this resource and another bundled in a 2/1 price in my garage sale. No one even looked at them last time. Maybe I'll be luckier this month -- that is, if someone hasn't already reinvented the wheel again. :o/
