Mechanically Inclined: Building Grammar, Usage, and Style Into Writer's Workshop by Jeff Anderson

5.0

I loved this book! Really made me think about how I taught grammar. Many books of this ilk imply that all kids need to do is look at models and that old fashioned direct instruction is bad. But Anderson shows how to mix both the direct instruction kids need to understand the concept with the modeling and experimentation they need to apply it, and to want to apply it, to their writing.
