5.0 out of 5 starsPractical and Explicit
By J. Schafrath on October 12, 2010
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I used the 2/3 Mastering the Mechanics program with my third grade class, then followed with the 4/5 instruction when I looped to grade four. I HIGHLY recommend this book! The lessons are practical and friendly to both students and teachers. The program has realistic time and age-appropriate expectations. There are many student work samples at your fingertips in this text, to be used as examples or points of discussion. Teachers aren't expected to spend hours prepping materials or hunting for certain examples of writing. The book contains everything that is needed to implement the program. Skills are introduced over the course of three days, using scaffolding and a gradual release of responsibility. Best practices are supported with this format. Most lessons can be completed in ten to thirty minutes in this three-day-a-week resource. Many lessons also come with lists of mentor texts to support the skill in student writing. I've watched a gradual improvement occur in my students' convention scores because of this program. It's not a quick fix, but students are taking ownership of their skills and it's transferring into their writing. This is a must for all upper-elementary school teachers. DEFINITELY worth the money! If you can only buy one new book this year, choose this one.

4.0 out of 5 starsI use this with students who dislike writing
By Janet Carmichael on April 23, 2016
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I teach students with IEPs. They have difficulty with phonics, reading comprehension, and writing. In fact, they dread writing. Teaching writing is an area I do not have much experience in. This is a great resource with modeling, work samples, and "turn and talks." It also gives you guidance for charts to display on your wall so kids know what to check for in their own writing.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood for the basics
By MomTeach on June 13, 2013
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
This looks like a good book to use with my 5th graders to reinforce the mechanics of writing. I haven't had a chance to use it yet since we are on summer break but I will definitely use it when we return.
