Widely practiced in classrooms across the country, the model has been proven by research to improve literacy achievement with a wide range of learners, especially those who struggle with verbal skills. At the heart of her approach is the Artists/Writers Workshop. Through study of quality picture books and hands-on art experiences, students learn to visualize, “paint pictures with words,” and ultimately create their own extraordinary artistic and literary work. The book and DVD explain how any teacher can successfully use this process to enable all students, particularly low performers, to make dramatic gains in both reading and writing.]]> 1125602 4.33 3 2 2008 4 0 false Sun Oct 25 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 25 10:27:08 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 25 10:32:20 -0700 2009 more...]]>
