Hi Mary,Have you seen the program Being a Writer? It is written by the same people that wrote Reading with Meaning. I think it follows the same idea as the reading program. I enjoy using the Reading with Meaning, and am looking to writing program.There is also a company called Schoolwide. They have a website, I think it is www.schoolwide.com. It was developed by a reading specialist a couple of teachers trained by Teachers College at Columbia University. They offer kits that include lessons and books for teaching writing. Some of the kits they offer are: Launching a Writer's Notebook, Personal Narrative etc. They also offer a program called Testing Fundamentals which we use to help with test prepartion. Hope this is helpful,Anne ----- Original Message -----From: Mary Kendall Date: Wednesday, January 9, 2008 6:33 amSubject: [MOSAIC] Writing programs & philosophyTo: [email protected]> Our school division has studied both editions of Mosaic of > Thought and we> now have the new Strategies That Work.
