Description: "When Writers Read, they evaluate all the time. They ask themselves, "What am I doing well?" and, "What can I do to become better?" Students' ability to answer these questions affects their growth, and that's what this second edition of When Writers Read is all about: What teachers can do so their students become better evaluators of themselves." "When Writers Read is based upon extensive research conducted with children from a range of schools and with varying life experiences. Not all of the students began as enthusiastic writers and readers, but most of them eventually became so. That was accomplished by creating classroom atmospheres in which students learn about each other, find value in each other and themselves, and take more initiative than they have in previous years - the practices Jane Hansen advocates in this book."--Jacket.
