As an English teacher, I keep my eyes open for EFFECTIVE writing helps. This book is a winner. My 4th and 5th grade students really like the activities. The interesting lesson plans are clearly written and require minimal prep time: reading and copying any required form. It certainly facilitates teaching/learning persuasive writing. My 4th/5th graders and I give it two thumbs up! I am looking forward to introducing it to my 6th and 7th graders. Undoubtedly it will be a hit with them also. I highly recommend this book.

This is a very good book that begins with a focus on genuinely developing student skill and understanding with persuasive writing techniques. The second part is more about the tips and tricks, but covers it in a very effective and worthwhile way. If you are teaching persuasive writing, this is a must have book.

I appreciate how well laid out this book is. It follows a progression and a teacher simply follows the lessons to bring her students from point A to point B. I've taught with this book for a few years and my sixth grade students have all loved the lessons.
