Need to Know : Essential Skills for Writing
Ellin M. Rossberg , Amy Rossberg

 

How do we train middle grade students to be skilled readers and writers? How do we incorporate skills into a content-rich curriculum? How do we provide instruction in those critical “need-to-know” skills areas but avoid a “drill and kill” mentality? The middle grades are critical years for skills building. What students do not master in these middle years may become lifetime weaknesses. Need to Know is a must “how to” course for teachers of English and any other discipline that requires extensive reading and writing. It contains easy-to-use student sheets, sample scripted lessons, and comprehensive explanations of all concepts and teaching tools.
