First, Teaching Writing in Small Groups lays the foundation for success. Jen shows how to create groups for maximum effectiveness and how to make what you teach responsive, clear, and sticky.

- strategy lessons
- guided writing
- shared writing
- interactive writing
- inquiry groups
- reflection groups
- coaching writing partnerships and clubs
Jen has thought of it all. Twelve videos with writers from Kindergarten to seventh grade from in-person and online classrooms model each type of small group, selected passages and forms are available in the Online Resources in Spanish, downloadable skill-progression note-taking forms provide focus for instructional decision making, and her āTake It to Your Classroomā feature supports implementation for individuals or study groups.
