Books: Don't Forget to Write



Two Volumes of Enthralling and Effective Writing Lessons for Elementary and Secondary Grades

These are recommended by me because they aren't set up in a school or textbook way as most writing books for children are.

Don’t Forget to Write: 50 Enthralling and Effective Writing Lessons for the Elementary Grades includes writing prompts for students ages 5-12. The book features amazing contributors, such as Jon Scieszka, author of The Stinky Cheese Man books, and irresistible lessons centered on fun themes such as space travel for beginners, integrating movement and storytelling, and writing for your favorite pet.

Its counterpart, Don't Forget to Write: 50 Enthralling and Effective Writing Lessons for the Secondary Grades, is perfect for students 11 and up. Contributors with lesson plans such as crafting a young-adult novel, songwriting, and writing from experience. [from 826 National]
