Children's Story Writing -Cecily B.-

This website is one that I have not seen before, but can be very useful for teachers in many ways. One area in particular stood out to me. The site provides an excellent area for teachers that provides workshops you can watch and listen to. One workshop was titled, "Five Effective Strategies for Improving Children's Writing" and another, "Improving Children's Sentence Constructions". Teachers will find this section to be well-worth the visit. The site also provides an area for parents to look at, which can always be helpful in conference situations.
