1. 1. Children Want To Write

   Donald Graves and the Revolution in Children's Writing

   

   Drawing on decades of classroom research, this collection showcases the origins and impact of the writing workshop movement and translates its core principles into practical classroom practice. Through essays, teacher reflections, student samples, minilessons, and classroom video, it illustrates how providing students with choice, time, authentic audiences, and responsive conferences fosters voice, engagement, and meaningful revision. It offers concrete strategies for building a community of writers, assessing authentically, and integrating reading and writing, while situating these methods in their historical context and adapting them for contemporary schools.
