This textbook offers techniques for implementation of an instructional program for young students experiencing difficulty in learning to write effectively. The authors, all faculty members in special education, developed self-regulated strategy development over the past two decades. Intended for use in elementary and middle school classrooms, the program is intended as a supplement for overall writing programs, not as a replacement. It was originally developed for students with learning disabilities, but the authors discovered that students without disabilities share similar difficulties in learning to write effectively. In addition to writing, the book also addresses student motivation and attitude. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
