About this title

Synopsis

Formerly a SkyLight publication.

The skill of writing crosses all subject areas. It should not be confined to just the language arts classroom. The practical writing strategies in Writing as Learning demonstrate how you can employ writing as a powerful tool for processing new subject area content and integrating new learning with prior knowledge.  This handbook includes more than 200 examples of how 12 different strategies can be used in kindergarten through high school classrooms.
