About the Authors: Writing Workshop with Our Youngest Writers by Katie Wood Ray

This book fills the void of writing often experienced in elementary classrooms. Steeped in the belief that students learn to write by seeing and experiencing what good authors do, these practical writing experiences allow students to be creative in their writing. It also allows the teacher to assess student knowledge about books and what to do to support student learning.
