I am so impressed with this book. It was recommended to me by our district literacy consultant (thanks, 'ria!) and I plan to spend a lot of time delving into it this summer. Janet Angelillo has such great techniques and mini-lessons for revision. A definite must-have for Writing Workshop instruction.
