Learning to Write, Writing to Learn

Theory and Research in Practice

Roselmina Indrisano and Jeanne R. Paratore, editors

“What makes this volume most helpful is that it contains both theory and practice, and targets both university researchers and classroom teachers. For those who teach writing, this is one book not to miss.”
— Education Libraries

Improving the way you teach writing requires deepening the way you understand the process of writing. Each chapter in this collection brings together the perspectives of a university researcher and a classroom teacher to show explicitly the connection between writing theory and practice.

The book covers writing development in different learning contexts to help you implement excellent instruction suited to your particular K–12 classroom.
