My kindergarten teammates and I feel like we have "finally figured it (writing) out." When I first received it, I didn't believe my students would be able to match the April writing sample on the cover. I thought, "It's going to take me some practice... maybe next year," but they did! I started off on our third day of school and made sure we got to it everyday for the first two months. At the beginning of the year, writing time never got skipped. The results I saw were incredible. The guided writing that the book teaches gives strategies for all learners no matter how much knowledge of the alphabet they have. The beginning of the year section in the book, also has some great (and short) alphabet routines to do with your students before beginning writing time. One year I used the "Alphardy" song to accompany the routines and this year I'm using "zoo phonics" (we don't actually have zoo phonics, I just have some old poster and watched a YouTube video to learn the hand motions... I thought the kinesthetic portion would be beneficial). By October (!!!), I had students able to write 2 full sentences and a student (who entered K with low fine motor and little exposure to the alphabet) writing a string of 2s and letter i's telling me it says "my grandma makes me happy" and hey, maybe all I saw were 2s and i's but she's understood the whole, "If I think it, I can say it. If I can say it, I can write it," idea. Then I had students everywhere in between. Then, as the students gain more phonological awareness and phonics practice, their writing grows naturally and when they're ready. I loved the book because it gives all my students the ability to write... and we know, writing in kindergarten looks different, but all my kids have learned such great writing strategies from this book that they don't get stuck on the spelling or the writing of letters (no matter where they happen to be in their phonics/phonological awareness), that they can focus on the content. (Correct spelling and handwriting are important, and of course, it gets mentioned when I teach writing, but I teach them these things explicitly at other points of the day. My focus when I teach from this book is getting our ideas on paper). I'm technically required to follow a school-wide curriculum but before this book, my students didn't have the skills to produce or even attempt the writing assignments it was asking of them. After we learned those skills, I went ahead and started following our school curriculum with more success. Review: I knew what a good reading and writing program should include but not really ... - I have my Title 1 liscense but currently stay home and home school my 5 year old. I found this book very helpful. I knew what a good reading and writing program should include but not really the step by step process on how to get there with a young student. This book is practical and easily implemented. Best of all, besides a piece of paper and pencil...it does not cost anything to implement! My Kindergartener is just 11 weeks in to her school year and is writing at nearly a first grade level, mostly in part to the scaffolding laid out in this book. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #221,801 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #78 in Elementary Education #1,365 in Instruction Methods | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (241) | | Dimensions | 10.9 x 8.4 x 0.35 inches | | ISBN-10 | 0545054001 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0545054003 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 160 pages | | Publication date | June 1, 2008 | | Publisher | Scholastic Teaching Resources | | Reading age | 5 - 6 years, from customers | ## Images ![Teaching Writing In Kindergarten - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71rNCUcLW+L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Meets the needs of all your learners no matter how much they already know as an incoming kindergartener *by A***J on November 4, 2017* This book is the best!

It requires only copy paper, pencil, and a white/chalk board, and some planning and preparation. There are checklists to assist with assessing students' writing development over the course of the school year. The method used in this book also helps kids improve their reading skills. ## Frequently Bought Together - Teaching Writing In Kindergarten - What Every Kindergarten Teacher Needs to Know: About Setting Up and Running a Classroom - The The New Kindergarten: Teaching Reading, Writing & More: A Mentor Teacher Shares Insights, Strategies, and Lessons That Give Kids a Strong Start in ...
