The Writing Revolution 2.0: A Guide to Advancing Thinking Through Writing in All Subjects and Grades

This is a must-have resource for ANY teacher. It doesn’t matter what content or grade level you handle, This text will equip you to start students off with strong foundations around sentence, writing, and work our way up to full-blown essays. I highly recommend the online trainings offered by TWR. It really brings everything together.

This is an amazing resource for helping students with writing across all subject areas.

Amazing book so actionable and easy to use. You can start doing this tomorrow in your classroom. My second grade writers are so much stronger this year than any other year! Definitely recommend!!

I love this book. Great info on writing for kids. I took the class after reading this book. Now doing weekly writing classes per grade at my school.

I've been teaching middle school ELA for 7 years. Teaching essay-writing is always a struggle for students and for me. My district has followed a certain writing program for the last 10 or so years, with varying degrees of success. My area has a high population of English language learners, so this is a factor to consider when planning writing lessons.I really appreciate the early chapters on explicitly teaching concepts such as complete sentences vs. fragments and sentence expansion. I do see the value in the single-paragraph and multi-paragraph outlines. However, this is not sufficient for the planning process for secondary grades. Out of the whole book, there was only about a page dedicated to teaching students how to use evidence and cite sources correctly, when this is one of the big struggles with teaching writing to middle schoolers. The SPO and MPO do not adequately address separating students' own elaboration from their sources, in my opinion. I was hoping for tips that are simpler than some of the very complicated planning sheets we are currently teaching students, but not quite this simple.All in all, this book is a great resource when it comes to teaching the foundational writing skills that are so lacking in many upper grade students, and there are also many valuable resources when it comes to differentiating. I did appreciate that elementary and secondary grades were addressed in every section of the book, with plenty of examples. This will be helpful in supplementing my current lesson plans and writing curriculum.

Excellent resource to help students at home or school or tutoring improve their writing.

I am a tutor and I am using this book to upgrade how I teach writing.

As a first year, third grade teacher, trying to wrap my head around teaching 8/9 year olds how to write quality work was daunting. But TWR gives great techniques and strategies to get students OF ALL AGES writing! I will never not use TWR in my classroom!
