[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I see both sides of the argument. I've also met Lucy at a conference in the flesh. Writers workshop works well for students that are already well established readers. The issue is the pipeline of creating readers became very broken when we started expecting first grade in kindergarten and a myriad of other reasons... Of course students that can't read can't do writers workshop. People are blaming one lady instead of seeing the whole forest...[/quote]No, it doesn't work well. It's a crap curriculum that doesn't teach kids to write. It assumes they'll figure out how to write all on their own, which very very few kids can do. I taught my kid phonics at home so she was a strong reader. She is a voracious reader, but she was absolutely failed by LC writing curriculum. It doesn't teach anything. It just expects kids to figure it out themselves.[/quote]
