March 30, 2005: Lessons That Change Writers is very teacher friendly and Nancie Atwell seems to be a colleague just down the hall. She gives the 'why' of the lesson and gives her exact words - the novice to Writers' Workshop can easily adapt her words and style.

April 01, 2004: This is the absolute, hands-down best guide for teachers of writing ever published. Nancie provides teachers the lessons, the reasoning behind them, and how they are taught. She provides her insight and expertise in the teaching of writing, but at the same time you feel as if a collegue is talking you through your teaching. I teach a fifth grade classroom and have adapted her lessons to fit the needs of my elementary school students. This is a must-have for upper grade language arts teachers.
