Review: The writing teachers must-have dream come true!!!! Brilliant from first to last page!!! - Jennifer Serravallo’s brilliant new book, The Writing Strategies Book, Your Everything Guide to Developing skilled Writers, lives up to every word of the title!! It could be added that it is the “everything guide” for every person who works with writers. I have not been able to put it down since it arrived!!! I keep reading it with different focuses and each time I open it, I see how so many different people need and would love this book! The strategies are organized in the clearest and simplest structure I've ever seen, making it a book you can start using the minute you open it. There are sections that will give teachers strategies to work with their most struggling writers, as well as their most gifted writers. But…not to be missed is the introduction section, Getting Started. It is filled with practical information that will help you or those you coach manage and produce a goal-driven, productive writers, no matter what type of program you use. From novice teacher to very experienced teacher, from grandparent to home-school parent, from principal to curriculum director, from literacy coach to independent consultant, from special education teacher to gifted and talented teacher, you’ll find treasures in this book. Some of my favorite treasures are: How the Strategies in This Book Might Fit into Your Classroom. (I'm buying the book for my daughter, a high school social studies teacher, because I think she will find it to be a missing link she needs to help her students write effectively in the content area.) It is perfect for me as a consultant, working with teachers who use a variety of approaches and programs. The strategies for Composing with Pictures….the most concise and easy to implement list of strategies I've seen for emergent and struggling writers.( I've been trying out strategies with my preschool-aged granddaughter.)There are hidden treasures that classroom teachers will love, such as the most concise, easy to use narrative, opinion and information progressions in the Organization and Structure chapter. You’ll want to carry the book with you as you confer with writers, with sections tabbed and highlighted. . The clarity in the beginning of each section, How do I know if this goal is right for my student? Is like having Jen by your side to coach you. And just when you think a book couldn't be more complete, clear, and helpful…the writing teacher’s bible you dreamed of ….you find the appendix, just packed with the most complete list of easy-to-implement ideas for Publishing and Celebrating Writing! If you teach writing, give yourself the gift of this book! If you know someone who works with children, buy it as gift for them. They'll be forever grateful.
