Book excerpt: This practical resource provides 40 research-based, classroom-tested, and developmentally appropriate mini lessons for kindergarten through grade 3 - presented in the context of authentic writing experiences. You can use these lessons to teach students how to: generate and organize ideas before writing, and then turn their prewriting ideas into connected text; develop writing style by focusing on word choice, voice, and fluency; increasingly use conventional spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and grammar to produce more readable work; and revise their writing for clarity, style, and effectiveness. Also included are charts to help you decide which lessons suit your students' needs; language you might use when presenting the lessons to students; notes sections, where you can record and reflect on what works and what doesn't; and reproducibles.
