  <abstract>Teaching writing just got easier and more effective because of these sturdy "crates." In them, teachers will find everything they need to help students use the six traits-ideas, organization, voice, word choice, sentence fluency, and conventions-improve their writing. Each crate contains an array of materials designed to engage students and enrich their writing experiences, including: * 6 high-interest picture books hand selected for each trait * 6 teaching guides filled with step-by-step lessons, graphic organizers, a scoring guide, and extension activities * Sing-along Trait Songs, a music CD containing lively, trait-specific songs to share with your students. Includes a "bonus track" on presentation. * 6 full-color 17" x 22" posters contain lyrics to the songs on the CD * Color-coded stickers for organizing classroom libraries and teaching materials * Using Picture Books to Teach Writing With the Traits: K-2, 112-page resource containing 18 step-by-step lessons and 150 annotations of new and classic books, organized by trait What's more, each crate comes with hanging folders--one for each trait--for easy, expandable storage for years to come. Kindergarten Picture Books Ideas: My Chair Organization: I Am America Voice: When Sophie Gets Really, Really Angry Word Choice:Mama Zooms Sentence Fluency: Charlie Parker Played Be Bop Conventions: No, David!
