 awesome May 11, 2008
This book has so many good ideas and ways of teaching writing to students. I have found it very useful to use with my 3rd graders and I can see it being used in most all grades. The lists are fantastic and offer the children the vocabulary to make their writing more enjoyable to read.
Good Resource Book to Supplement other Texts November 2, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I taught English for nearly eight years before I found this book. Now, I use it regularly for a community ESL class I teach in my spare time. The lists of words and writing prompts are useful for students to remember the words they already know and learn a few other words that they haven't been exposed to yet. My students like the question writing prompts because they are very useful for starting great discussions.
This book can be used in many more ways too. I am going to use some to the lists in this book in my college-level English class for journal/free writing prompts. Often my students complaint that they don't know where to start on writing assignments, so the list of words and questions can prime the pump and get the sentences flowing onto the page.
This book and the others in the Book of Lists series are excellent resources for any teacher's personal library. They are great go-to staples for ideas on regularly covered topics.
An effective tool for teaching writing, BUT... June 29, 2007

The Writing Teacher's Book of Lists is a useful resource for teachers of writing, but it is more technical and perhaps better suited to beginning teachers who might appreciate the 90 useful lists for developing instructional materials, activities, teaching suggestions etc. I would recommend using this book together with another effective book on teaching writing titled, "Writing Process Activities Kit: 75 Ready-to-use Lessons & Worksheets for Grades 7-12".
great teaching tool June 27, 2007
I found the information in this book to be very helpful in my classroom. There are great lessons on all different types of writing. They are very easy to follow and adaptable for different grade levels. Very useable.
