I recently attended a workshop on 6trait writing and teach
4th grade. For the first time I felt like I had direction
on how to start teaching writing. Let me say that I am not

Anyone know of any 6 Traits resources out there (books,
websites, etc.) that are specifically for Kindergarten? My

I need help! I took a class on 6 traits, and am tickled
to finally have a place to start teaching writing. I have
a combined class of first and second grade, one of my
second graders is a budding author, one is very reluctant,
and the first graders are all over the place. Most of
them can and will write ...See More
