Lessons from a Child On the Teaching and Learning of Writing

A story of one child's growth in writing, Lessons from a Child explains how teachers can work with children, helping them to teach themselves and each other. Matters of classroom management, methods for helping children to use the peer conference, and ways mini-lessons can extend children's understanding of good writing are all covered here. Most important, the sequences of writing development and growth are thoroughly discussed.Calkins, Lucy McCormick is the author of 'Lessons from a Child On the Teaching and Learning of Writing', published 1983 under ISBN 9780435082062 and ISBN 043508206X.
