  • The ultimate list of books for trait-based teaching
  • Powerful lessons for modeling what skilled writers do
  • Help in boosting narrative, expository, and persuasive writing skills
  • The perfect companion to Culham's Traits of Writing: The Complete Guide for Middle School, Reproducible Forms for the Trait-Based Classroom: Middle School, and 100 Trait-Specific
