Reflections on our work together

Click and type in a question or comment

Leah, what do you suggest for incorporating discreet instruction of grammar? I have read the Gentry book you recommended, but I am still looking for more. What do you do if you don't/can't go back to worksheets and grammar books and the mini-lessons and conferencing is not carrying over to application? Thanks! Any other recommended books?

Leah visited our kindergarten classrooms in January, 2007. We have been using the strategies that she modeled and have been AMAZED by the quality of the writing our kids have produced! And that was just a one day workshop! I can't wait for a full week with Leah!
