writer's notebooks
By Jen

Clip to ScrapBook   
Fletcher's books are geared both towards teachers and students. He has published many books with his wife. If you were to do a search on a bookstore site by author you can see all of his books. He has written chapterbooks,
picture books, writing handbooks, and teacher resource books. To get started his book "Writer's Workshop" is a great quick read that will give you an overview of a writing workshop format. I use some of his other books to grab the students attention. I start the year off with one of his chapter books, then as we begin our writer's notebooks I quote Fletcher's book " A Writer's Notebook".
The kids get sucked in because they know that he is an author and he is going to give them tips on writing. It's so cool! I also use his picture books for mini-lesson. He has written poetry books too! I finish off the year with "Flying Solo". My children are very familiar with Fletcher and he has truly helped them become better writers.
