Helping Children Become Readers Through Writing

A Guide to Writing Workshop in Kindergarten

Arlene C. Schulze

Keeping in mind the limitations of a kindergarten teacher’s time, Arlene C. Schulze has provided the current research and best classroom practices you need to implement writing workshop in your classroom. Chapters are rich with student writing samples and offer a daily kindergarten schedule, a description of the stages of kindergartners’ written language development, outlines and lesson plans, writing workshop minilessons, and assessment tools.

Plus, the appendixes offer a wealth of information to supplement your instruction, such as phonemic awareness activities, recommended booklists, word lists, sample letters, and reproducible forms.

Although this book focuses primarily on kindergarten students, it also is appropriate for preschoolers and first and second graders.
