Teaching Strategies to Implement a Writer’s Workshop

Writing is the cornerstone of any education, and a great way to work on the writing craft is to use teaching strategies to put in place a writer’s workshop.

While you might think that a writer’s workshop is only applicable to older students, today on TeachHUB.com, frequent contributing writer Janelle Cox, herself a seasoned educator in Upstate New York, shows via teaching strategies that a writer’s workshop can be carried out at any level of the K-12 program.

For example, Janelle’s teaching strategies for kids on grades 3-6 include tips on:

  • Drawing as an alternative
  • Remembering that students at this age can write
  • Using mini lessons for what students struggle with
