From the jacket flap
A good writer can effectively present an idea, argue a point, analyze an issue, clarify the confusing, and evoke the intangible. The writing ability children develop in their school and college years is a valuable skill that will last them a lifetime.
"Because Writing Matters" examines the myths and realities surrounding the teaching of writing in schools. This important book reveals how kids learn to write, what schools need to do to teach writing effectively, and shows that effective writing teachers address more than content and skills. Sponsored by the National Writing Project, a nationally recognized organization for teachers, "Because Writing Matters" offers step-by-step recommendations for developing effective writing programs in all grades. Each of the book's action steps is prioritized from the easily achieved to the larger and longer term.
Teaching writing well involves multiple teaching strategies that deal with both process and product, both form and content. This book offers many examples of these effective strategies and classroom practices. In addition, "Because Writing Matters" includes a guide to help educators and administrators analyze and improve writing instruction in their classrooms.
From curriculum and assessment to professional development, this book will provide teachers, parents, administrators, and policy makers with a blueprint for improving writing in their schools.
