Dear K-8 writing teachers, specialists, interventionists, coaches, and anyone who using the Writing Pathways book by Lucy Calkins to teach Writing Workshop:

Are you tired of teaching writing strategies to your students and then they either don't practice them, forget how do them, or practice them wrong? Are you looking for a way to support your students towards independence so that you don't always have to be right by their side in order for them to practice the strategies you've just taught them?

Watch this video of Desiree, our Instructional Coach, teaching one way to remind your students how to practice each strategy you teach either in a mini lesson, 1-1 conference, partnership, or small group.​
