This 202-page Elementary Response to Literature Writing Guide provides the JSWP methodology for elementary educators whose students are beginning the thinking process associated with academic writing. With models, such as Cinderella, Tuck Everlasting, "To Sleep Under the Stars," "Both Sides of the Fence," Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, and Harry Potter, teachers learn how to build confidence and logic in young writers through Jane’s prewriting strategies, student-centered terminology, color-coding, and Web-off-the-Word™, Jane's breakthrough approach to commentary and vocabulary development.

The standards-based curriculum guide aligns with both the Common Core State Standards and the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). From terminology to sentences to paragraphs to final draft essays, this guide is designed to assist the English language arts teacher with strategies and techniques that yield successful writers.
