Description: For primary students, writing can take many forms: drawings, scribbles, recordings, and text that goes every which way. The challenge for teachers is to see the experimentation and playfulness of young writers not as errors, but as ways of learning. Seeing With New Eyes, sixth edition is designed to do just that.

Based on NWREL's 6+1 Trait^® Writing Model, this guidebook helps teachers use the traits of good writing as a framework for instruction and scoring of prewriters as well as competent ones. While the main audience for the publication is teachers of kindergarten through second-grade students, the model can also be used effectively for older youngsters in special education and limited English proficiency classes.

Among the changes to the sixth edition are new scoring guides geared to giving effective feedback on a wide range student work samples. Using the traits helps teachers focus their instruction, identifying the specific characteristics that contribute to good writing.
