"In Scaffolding Young Writers: A Writers' Workshop Approach, Linda Dorn and Carla Soffos present a clear road map for implementing writers' workshop in the primary grades." "Adopting an apprenticeship approach, the authors show how explicit teaching, good models, clear demonstrations, established routines, assisted teaching followed by independent practice, and self-regulated learning are all fundamental in establishing a successful writers' workshop. There is a detailed chapter on organizing for writers' workshop, including materials, components, routines, and procedures. Other chapters provide explicit guidelines for designing productive mini-lessons and student conferences." "Instruction is linked with assessment throughout the book so that all teaching interactions are grounded in what children already know and what they need to know as they develop into independent writers."--Jacket.
