Ginny Hoover maintains an awesome website for everything you need to know about the 6 Traits of Writing. This is a nice 6 Traits website that is maintained by the Madison Metropolitan School District. You will find rubrics, writing strategies, and more. Grace Haskins has put together a well thought out spelling and phonics program for primary grades. Take a look - it's well worth it. Download these posters on your color printer, laminate them, and hang them in your room. The free posters offered here are wonderful and better than any you will find in a teacher's supply store. Check out this 6 Traits of Writing Interactive Site. If you are looking for resources to support writing across the curriculum this is the site to visit. Northwest Regional Educational Laboratories is the place to go to learn about everything 6 Traits. This is where it all began.
This site puts authors in the classroom. It's a program that collaborates between authors and teachers.

An awesome site for readers, writers and teachers of children's literature. It's a one stop kid's lit shop. Are you a closet writer? Do you dream of publishing a children's book some day?
