By Paul Emerich France
Practical and sustainable writing practice in every classroom

Scaffolds and strategies that systematically support students in strengthening their skills while simultaneously writing to learn
Ways to embed foundational skills like spelling and grammar to help students become stronger communicators
The purpose of cognitive writing and how to properly set up journaling within the classroom
Numerous student journal samples and informative vignettes

Now is the time to embed writing into all subjects and emphasize accurately interpreting information, effectively communicating needs, and making learning visible to students and educators alike.
