This book addresses an important but long-overlooked area of educational reform–the need to improve the teaching and practice of writing. Sponsored by The National Writing Project, the nation’s most respected organization concerned with writing in schools, Because Writing Matters shows what school leaders, teachers, and other educators need to do to develop effective writing programs at all grade levels. It offers action steps prioritized from the easily achieved to the larger and longer term.
This updated edition of the best-selling book Because Writing Matters reflects the most recent research and reports on the need for teaching writing, and it includes new sections on writing and English language learners, technology, and the writing process.
