RTI Meets Writer's Workshop
Tiered Strategies for All Levels of Writers and Every Phase of Writing

Foreword by Megan Sloan



May 2013 | 144 pages | Corwin
An accessible, classroom-tested approach to using RTI in writing instruction at the elementary/middle level. This is not a theoretical or general book about RTI, but a practical demonstration of how to implement tiered instruction in the classroom with young writers (grades 2-6). The author is an experienced elementary teacher and uses a down-to-earth, teacher-to-teacher voice in her book. This is truly a how-to guide, offering a step-by-step process with classroom-proven strategies.

"This book contains practical, classroom-proven strategies for growing writers in Grades 2-6. It is very easy to read and flows very well…feels like I am talking to the author personally.

"Have you ever wondered what to do to get any and every student to write so somebody would want to read it? This book has practical suggestions for everything from the actual writing to the publishing phase for all skill levels, including simple little things like writing at the appropriate slant (tape the page down) Now why didn't I ever think of that?! There are many gems like that included in this very readable book. Your writing instruction will never be the same!"
