I am a first year 5th grade teacher. Many of the students
in my class are very low and 14 of them are reading below
grade level. I am very confused by our writing program
and don't see how it works. The kids are very poor
writers and still don't use periods. Our literacy coach
is a bit of control freak and got mad at me because we
weren't writing personal stories and write from prompts.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make them
stronger writers? In my district we use two books: the no
non-sense guide to writing along with Craft Lessons.
There is not a lot of structure to our program and our
coach thinks that it is great. Help!
