=**A Resource Center for Teaching Writing** =


The purpose of this wiki is to be a collaborative site where teachers can share resources for teaching students the writing process, as well as developing and maintaining a writing workshop within the classroom. It has been primarily designed for primary grades, but ideas can easily be applied to intermediate grades as well. The writing resources on this site include bibliographies for both books as a teaching resource and books as a teaching tool.

The springboard for this site is the idea that students learn to become better writers by being involved in the process of writing, learning the form, style, and function of a variety of writing genre. They learn about their voice, as well as about audience. Teachers use great literature and the inspiration of their own students words to guide students along the path of becoming life-long writers.

Please become a part of this collaborative site. All of the following links are editable, without a login. We ask that you share great books, resources, ideas, tips, lessons... with others on this site, and that you visit to learn great ideas posted by others as well. Thanks for sharing all that you have learned about teaching young children the art of writing.
