 6 trait writing June 1, 2008
This is a good book. It was my text for a self paced class with University of San Diego. Easy to follow. Good examples.

Spandel's book is an authentic, engaging, and encouraging read for those that teach writing, want help infusing writing, or want to enhance their own writing. It is written conversationally and is well supported with numerous examples. I found it visually appealing as a reader and insightful. (Another review didn't like the visuals because it isn't easy to lift examples "as is" for sharing in class. To that angle I agree, but as a reader the layout is very pleasing.) Highly recommended.
Creating Writers Through 6-Trait Writing Assessment and Instruction (4th Ed) July 27, 2005

This book gives so many examples of the qualities to look for and teach in writing instruction. I especially like the fact that this edition is more inclusive of secondary ideas and samples.
With this book as a guide, it is hard to miss what is important to the writing instructional process. The information is comprehensive and user friendly.
