A Revolutionary Strategy for Teaching Writing to Children
How can we shape young students, often just learning how to hold a pencil, into capable writers? This groundbreaking book offers the a clear framework for guiding children to write in any style, from narrative to persuasive.
The key lies in using familiar text structures to break down a story into its main components, immediately thrusting students into the role of the writer. Included are 53 lessons, each centered around a classic nursery rhyme, and all the tools you’ll need to lead your students in crafting their own story ― in words, pictures, or both.
Discover how text structures, already a success in later grades, can also have a profound impact on younger students’ progress.

The theme is this book is simplicity in teaching writing enhances student learning.
Gretchen, Kayla and Jane use nursery rhymes we all grew up reading to teach grammar, comprehension and writing craft.
Weaving fun into my writing lessons, text structures, are a fantastic way to teach students of all ages how to break down the writing process into something meaningful.
