In this timely book, literacy experts Amy Benjamin and Barbara Golub offer best practices for fortifying the writers workshop model with meaningful, relevant instruction in grammar.

Each chapter clearly demonstrates what teaching the targeted concept looks like in a workshop classroom, with examples for different grade levels which can be adapted as necessary. Clear and understandable, and eminently practical, the book clearly achieves the objective of showing how to teach grammar in the context of the workshop model. - Sarah Brew, Parents in Touch

These teachers should look no further, as Benjamin and Golubs book is an outstanding resource that answers this question like no other text does. I have no doubt educators will find this book to be extremely useful! - Sean RlÓC
