"Not only are these books ideal for helping students master the standards for writing, but will serve as a great reference tool throughout the year. What I especially loved are the insights into how skilled writers writewhat they think about at each step of the process, how they revise, the questions they ask themselves, the time they take to get it right. This is a must-have writing resource for teachers and Stella will quickly become a primary-grade students favorite writing mentor!"-Wiley Blevins (Author, educator, researcher)
