Kid-Tested Writing Lessons for Grades 3-6: Daily Workshop Practices That Support the Common Core Sta

"These are the tried and true lessons I return to year after year. The lessons that students said made a difference in their writing and that will bring power and beauty to your students' writing and to your writing classroom." Leslie Blauman, author of The Inside Guide to the Reading-Writing Classroom

"What's wrong with a little mentorship?" Leslie Blauman asks.

Not only are these research-based writing lessons kids' self-proclaimed favorites, they incorporate mentor texts, support the Common Core State Standards, and are research-based.

• writing fictional narratives
• writing research-based nonfiction.
