Book Reviews of 50 Writing Lessons That Work!: Motivating Prompts and Easy Activities That Develop the Essentials of Strong Writing (Grades 4-8)

Book Review: interesting activities that stimulate good writing
Summary: 5 Stars

As a teacher of high-school students with learning disabilities I was very happy to find Ms. Rawlings book. Nothing is more difficult in writing than thinking of an idea and getting started. I found that my students would simply stare into space when asked to write, desperately trying to think of something to write about. Now I use the story starters as fun, creative ways to get the kids going. For the first time many of them want to write because the story starters are so compelling they want to start the story and see where it takes them. I also enjoy the sensible teaching tips from a seasoned pro in the classroom. Thank you Ms. Rawlings Miller!
