Creating Confident Writers Has Never Been Easier!

These days, students seem to be struggling more and more with writing. From starting an essay to tackling a creative assignment, the art of writing seems to be more challenging for today’s youth. Our students have so much to say, but sometimes they might not know how to put their thoughts onto paper. These students have strong opinions and beliefs they want to express, but writing might not be one of their natural strengths. This means their brilliant ideas might never be shared in an ELA class or within a standard writing assignment.

If we are going to teach our students to become stronger writers, we need to make sure our ELA classes meet the needs of every single one of our students. We need to purposefully include strategies and scaffolds in our instruction for the students who struggle with writing and provide them with the structure needed to succeed. Building Strong Writers aims to equip educators with all the tools necessary to help their students be confident, compelling writers and to understand the tremendous power of the written word.

“As a former English teacher and current college professor, I recommend this book for anyone looking to teach the writing process effectively and efficiently. The models, examples, and organization make this book one you’ll read and reference throughout your career!” —Jenna Copper, PhD, coauthor of Keeping the Wonder

“Full of helpful sentence frames and step-by-step lesson plans. The clear, easy-to-follow scaffolds ensure every educator can confidently guide their students through the writing process as they work to become proficient, skilled writers!“—Ashley Bible, coauthor of Keeping the Wonder

An Invaluable, Professional "Mentor Text" for ELA Educators 6th-12th Grade
27 years into teaching and this is by far one of the best professional development books I have ever read! This book was clearly written by a classroom ELA educator who can relate to all classroom ELA teachers! The layout, anecdotes and instructional information in this book is intentional, focused and relevant to all ELA educators (6th through 12 ) This book was clearly written from the perspective of a seasoned ELA educator! The chapters contain relatable and applicable strategies, skills and thoughtful planning approaches! There is so much to glean from each page of this book with regards to teaching ELA in the middle and secondary classrooms. This book is my "new Mentor" for the year!

Already got my copy and it's as amazing as I knew it would be. I love how everything is broken down and really appreciate how the daily objectives and specific action steps were included. The sentence frames are also super helpful. I can't wait to use these strategies with my students!
