Creating Young Writers (with a Foreword by Barry Lane) - Tapa blanda

This long-awaited text offers a most comprehensive exploration of Spandel's effective 6-trait approach to writing for K-3 teachers. The perfect complement to its phenomenally successful parent text, Creating Writers, 3e, this new text provides clear guidelines on helping young students draft, assess, and revise their writing, as well as explicit criteria to show students precisely what they must do to succeed as writers in virtually any situation-including state tests.

Vicki Spandel is a master teacher and was the co-director of the original teacher team that developed the 6 Trait model. She has designed instructional materials for all grade levels and is the author of numerous books on writing and writing assessment including Creating Writers - Linking Writing Assessment and Instruction. Vicki is a former language arts teacher, journalist, technical writer, consultant and scoring director for dozens of state, county, and district writing assessments. She also serves as contributing editor to r.w.t, the magazine for reading, writing, thinking.
