Introduction

Students learn to write well by developing fundamental literacy skills--and also by knowing how to get started, stay on track, and persist toward meaningful goals.

About the Book

From leading science-of-writing expert Leslie E. Laud, this is the first book that helps K12 educators harness the power of executive skills in evidence-based writing instruction.

Key Concepts

Laud shows how self-regulation supports learning and growth in every step of the writing process, from planning to drafting, editing, and revising.

Features

The book provides a clear roadmap and practical strategies for teaching and scaffolding both writing skills and executive skills. It is packed with sample lessons, writing prompts, extended examples, 'Take It to the Classroom' tips, and reproducible/downloadable tools.
