In a simple, non-threatening way, Lane explains to new and veteran teachers alike how best to teach writing to all students, of any age.


Packed with practical ideas teachers and students can try instantly and experience immediate success with writing. The book is divided into three parts: Out of the Gate contains easy ideas to help you get started, More Reasons to Write shows you how to teach across genre, both fiction and nonfiction writing, and Refining Writing addresses everything you need to know about revision, grammar, punctuation, and assessment. In every chapter you'll find two running features: 1) "Try This", ready-to-use lessons for you and your students; and 2) "Yeah But" where Barry answers the real questions and concerns he's collected from teachers around the country.
