 Rating:  - Helpful This book has step by step lesson ideas that will work well in my 3rd grade classroom. It also lists other books for the traits which enabled me to go through my personal library to see with what books I could build my own lessons. Rating:  - Fantastic!This is a great book for teaching the writing traits. And, it's easily adaptable to grades 5 and 6 also. I highly recommend it.

Overall, I think this will be a great book to use with my class. Rating: - Good ResourceBook is full of excellent resources. I used it with my fifth graders and they enjoyed the lessons. My only wish is there would be more lessons for each of the traits. Rating: - Best writing book I've ever used!I am a third grade teacher of mostly at-risk students (English Lang.

The lessons are simple to understand and give for the teacher and the students. ... Read More
