I am a teacher in LAUSD and use this instead of some of the literacy programs we use. A very easy to use system.

This book is fabulous!! We just started "The Writer's Workshop" at our school. The 'Writing Whizardry' has helped me start and stay on track. It has an example lesson and extra resourse on the bottom of each page. If you're having difficulty finding fun ways to teach various writing activities, this is the book for you.
