Preschool & Kindergarten Writing Tools for Young Writers - Classroom & Homeschool Use

The book, Already Ready, is essentially a "how to" book on developing writers in Pre-K. It is a book about teaching writing, but not in the sense that you teach children to form letters or spell words-- it focuses on teaching composition. It uses a project-style approach by using bookmaking as an ongoing class project which helps children feel valued as writers. Your students will feel like real authors who write real books.I highly recommend this book to Pre-K teachers. While you could implement bookmaking on your own, this book will give you more insight into a child's process of becoming an author and creator of books, and will help you understand how to evaluate their efforts and progress. The book gives many ideas for supporting children as writers and for teaching children about the elements of books (e.g. authors, illustrators, genre, etc.)
