Based on its highly successful parent texts, "Creating Writers Through 6-Trait Writing" and "Creating Young Writers," this new grade-level series offers a fresh approach to strengthening revision and editing skills in grades two through eight. Each research-based volume includes a wealth of interactive lessons based on samples of problematic writing that students revise or edit in teams, with a follow-up coaching discussion led by the teacher.
