Publisher's Synopsis
Writer, Writer, Words on Fire is the book for parents who want to help their elementary age children become passionate and effective writers. As a parent, a veteran teacher with more than 30 years experience, and a published writer the author has lots of ideas, specific examples, engaging and entertaining stories which illustrate many things parents can do to help. The goal of the book is to support the parent in building his or her child's passion, confidence and skills in writing. The updated version addresses the demands of the new Common Core Standards and provides important information to parents about how to help young writers succeed in the Common Core and beyond. The book is full of tons of concrete examples that are explained in enthusiastic, and easy-to-understand language. Each of the chapters is short enough to be read in the bits of free time that a busy parent would have available like while waiting for soccer practice to end, waiting for her turn at the dentist, or in the last quiet ten minutes of the day.
