Description: "This timely book explores the debate about how best to engage children in the writing of nonfiction and suggests many instructional strategies for K-6 classrooms. Using transcripts and descriptions of children's actual writing practices, the authors show that children willingly embrace nonfiction writing when the genre is given an important place in the classroom."--Jacket.
