A Writing Program for Poor Readers and Writers and the Rest of the Class, Too.

Gaskins, Irene W.

Language Arts, v59 n8 p854-61 Nov-Dec 1982

Describes how elementary school teachers encouraged poor readers and writers by having them--and the whole class--keep journals on topics they knew more about than anyone else in the class and then read the entries aloud. Discusses a three-step process approach to writing instruction derived from this successful method. (HTH)
