In his latest book, Daniel Meier highlights the critical importance of integrating content and mechanics for successful and engaged writing at the K–4 level.

Written by an experienced teacher and researcher, Teaching Children to Write will be of interest to both new and veteran teachers, as well as curriculum coordinators, literacy coaches, and researchers on children’s writing. Book Features: Explanations of key theories on early literacy research, integration of content and mechanics, and effective teaching strategies. Step-by-step guidance for using children’s literature for writing, generating ideas and content, composing, writing, and revising. Models for supporting student writing with native and nonnative English-language speakers. Guidance for using developmentally appropriate techniques and strategies to encourage young writers.
