A reproducible student organizer gives scaffolded responsibility for learning to the student. Students are invited to make each skill part of their reader’s toolbox and reflect on how it improves their comprehension. All writers need fresh ideas to help them get started with a new story, article, poem, etc. This is especially true when we are young, and first discovering "how to write." Over the years, we've worked with thousands of students and their teachers to develop story ideas that kids LIKE to write about. We've compiled some of our favorites into this book—101 Ideas Kids Can Write About - Chapter 1 (3.3MB pdf) We invite teachers to use this book as a resource for individual student writing projects, or as a springboard for larger cooperative publishing projects. Some teachers even use the assignments in this book to introduce students to desktop publishing, helping them start their own school newspaper or youth-oriented magazine from the stories they write. We are always interested in hearing about the new and different ways teachers use 101 Ideas Kids Can Write About as a classroom tool. Please write and let us know what you think, Thanks, and KEEP ON WRITING!

Along with reading comprehension, writing skill is a predictor of academic success and a basic requirement for participation in civic life and in the global economy. ...Because the definition of literacy includes both reading and writing skills, poor writing proficiency should be recognized as an intrinsic part of this national literacy crisis." 1.4MB KB pdf report \| more Graham, S., & Perin, D.

Traveling through the Human Body with ABCs Written by 6th Graders Learning happens when students construct meaning by comparing and contrasting words, by classifying terms, by creating a visual or graphic representation, by creating metaphors and analogies. This book designed by sixth-grade students allows them to think beyond the definition – using the context of the content – to both activate prior knowledge and to extend understanding.

The Memoir Project Project by Alicia Van Borssum English language learners in third to fifth grades listened to, read, and categorized a wide variety of memoir literature. After immersion in literary memoir, the students were ready to attempt writing their own memoirs. None had any trouble coming up with an important life event to develop. The memoirs took the form of picture books, published in both analog and narrated digital formats. Ultimately they have been published as paperbacks.

The Writing Buddy Project Written by second graders This book by second graders includes the students’ acrostic poems, the original draft of their memoir or autobiography, the revised and edited draft of that memoir or autobiography and a self-reflection on their growth as a writer. The acrostic poems illustrate their efforts to expand the use of descriptive words. The memoirs illustrate their efforts to elaborate or add descriptive and informative details.
