My Kids Can't Write, K-5
Practical and sustainable writing practice in every classroom
Teachers consistently grapple with how to make writing fun and engaging. While long-form writing has its value, research shows that balancing genre-based units with frequent, on-demand writing tasks to help children communicate effectively and reflect on their learning might be the key to success.
My Kids Can't Write provides sustainable and scalable practices for writing across all content areas and shows teachers how to develop structures and rituals for sustaining a journal-based approach to instruction and assessment in classrooms. Inside, you'll find
- Scaffolds and strategies that systematically support students in strengthening their skills while simultaneously writing to learn
- Ways to embed foundational skills like spelling and grammar to help students become stronger communicators
- The purpose of cognitive writing and how to properly set up journaling within the classroom
- Numerous student journal samples and informative vignettes
Now is the time to embed writing into all subjects and emphasize accurately interpreting information, effectively communicating needs, and making learning visible to students and educators alike.
