6 Traits of Writing Songs and Book
- Zip
Description
Children learn the six traits of great writing along with presentation skills, plus all parts of speech, in 27 songs. The 64-page book includes lyrics to all songs, directions for creating quality student-generated rubrics for grades K-5, and dozens of additional ideas for improving your students' writing skills. You will find that Common Core writing standards become fun and easier for students to master with this resource.
As a pilot assessor in the original Six Traits study, I've used the traits successfully in my classroom for 16 years. The traits give students a common language to use throughout the grade levels. They learn to pinpoint precise ways to improve writing. Whether or not your school has adopted "6 Traits Writing," you will find that these songs and rubrics will enhance any writing program.
