Summary: A Great Writing Tool for the Classroom
Comment: I began the school year by reading Ralph Fletcher's A Writer's Notebook aloud to my fourth grade class. This book details how writers get ideas through keeping a notebook-- a place to record and respond to events we observe in the world. We have set up our own writer's notebooks and add to them each day after reading a chapter of Fletcher's book. This is the first year my students are actually excited about writing! One of the biggest hang-ups for my young writers is thinking of ideas about which to write. Fletcher's book provides many "seed ideas" to get my students' brains churning. Now, even my less motivated students look forward to writing time each day. I even have students ASKING to take their writer's notebooks home to work on during their own time! Fletcher's book is a great motivator for young writers. Its ideas are practical and easily applicable to the classroom. I recommend it to any young writers, ages 8 and up!

Summary: Great ideas for getting started.
Comment: This is a wonderful book for the young writer, and I wish I'd read it when I was in school. Ralph Fletcher encourages the reader to observe the world around her, document her observations, and use them as a foundation for future written works. He has also incorporated the thoughts and poetry of many young writers, his own, as well as those of other established authors. I think that many adults who've considered writing could also use this book as a starting point.

Summary: our "other writing teacher"
Comment: I teach second and third grade, and I use this and Ralph Fletcher's other books in this series, regularly in my classroom. I read parts of them out loud to my students, then we discuss how we can use Fletcher's ideas in our own writing. Fletcher writes to his young audience with a great deal of respect. He addresses them as authors in a way that both makes them believe that they really ARE authors, and also gives them the tools to really BE authors.
This book influenced how I helped my students set up their writing notebooks, and has also influenced how I have set up my own.
While these books are written for upper elementary-middle school students, I find that as read alouds they are accessible to younger kids; they are also helpful to anyone beyond middle school age who wants writing to become more a part of their own life.
