Publisher's Synopsis
Use the writing workshop approach to teach your kindergarten students how to communicate a message and develop their voice as they learn phonemic awareness and the alphabetic principle. This resource gives you all you need to put writing workshop into action: the research base, an explanation of the stages of students' writing development, the workshop structure, steps for getting started, workshop minilessons, assessment elements, student writing samples, activities, book lists, word lists, sample letters to parents, and reproducible forms. ""Writing workshop"" is appropriate for first- and second-grade students, too.
