Writing Workshops for Kids

Research on the writing process suggests that writers learn the most about writing when they share and reflect on their writing. In classrooms, this is most commonly done through writing groups. Whether they occur with pairs, with small groups, or with the teacher, the social benefits of sharing writing improves writing.
