5.0 out of 5 stars Teaching Writing September 4, 2000
By Gina E Davis
Format:Paperback
I found this to be one of the most useful books for teaching writing skills. It is loaded with ideas that can be used in the classroom and can be used with teaching teachers how to teach writing skills. This book has some of the most creative and effective ideas I have seen in a long time. In fact I loaned it to someone about a year ago and have not seen it since. This demonstrates its quality. It is an easy read with samples that one can use in class forever. I recommend it highly.

I am a parent, and using this book to teach my 4th grader. Contents do not drive step-by-step learning process, it rather felt like an instruction book for grade teachers. Read more
