Writer's-Reader's Notebook by Linda Rief

Writer's-Reader's Notebook by Linda Rief

The Writer's-Reader's Notebook is essential to everything Linda Rief's students do in her workshop classroom as literate young men and women. Far more than a place where students merely practice writing, this is where they do the work of learning. Now Linda shares her Writer's-Reader's Notebook with you and your students, in the exact format that she and her students have found most useful - a format she has perfected in more than two decades in the classroom. Conveniently available in packs of five and with instructions for each of its sections printed inside, these notebooks are now ready for use in your classroom. The design of this notebook is flexible and adaptable to the demands of not only English/language arts, but any content area concerned with the development of literacy. Linda has organized the Writer's-Reader's Notebook for two important purposes - to meet the specific demands of literacy instruction and to provide a safe, structured way for students to discover the power of choice in their writing and reading as well as the time and space in which to exercise it. The Notebook includes specially designated places for students to:

• note what books they are reading or want to read
• jot down ideas for future writing
• respond to reading, draft writing ideas, think about their world
• take notes during teacher-directed lessons
• record new vocabulary they encounter
• make special note of words with troublesome spellings.

Each section contains specific instructions and guidelines, providing a helpful structure for students as they learn and grow as writers and readers. Linda also includes some of her favorite inspirational quotes about writing and reading throughout; meanwhile, her organizational tools help students navigate the ideas and information they've compiled during the year. In addition, Linda's guide, Inside the Writer's-Reader's Notebook, is available separately and offers in-depth ideas for teaching through the Notebook as well as numerous student samples to model and inspire its usage. With its tear-resistant cover, thick paper stock, softened rules for drawing and writing, and backpack-friendly size, the Writer's-Reader's Notebook's fully functional design keeps the needs of adolescents in mind. And with Linda Rief's experience, wisdom, and know-how behind it, you'll discover a proven, convenient, and powerful way to help kids develop voice, explore their ideas, record their growing awareness of themselves, and cultivate a love of writing and reading.

Linda Rief left the classroom (reluctantly) in June of 2019 after 40 years of teaching Language Arts with eighth graders. She misses their energy, their curiosity, and their desire to read and write. She has file folders filled with the thinking of these adolescents and will continue to share all she has learned from them through writing and speaking. She is an instructor in the University of New Hampshire's Summer Literacy Institute and a national and international presenter on issues of adolescent literacy. Her newest book is The Quickwrite Handbook: 100 Mentor Texts to Jumpstart Your Students' Thinking and Writing. She is also the author or co-editor of numerous Heinemann titles, including Read Write Teach; Inside the Writer's-Reader's Notebook; Vision and Voice; and Seeking Diversity. She is a co-editor with Kylene Beers and Robert Probst of Adolescent Literacy. For five years she co-edited with Maureen Barbieri Voices from the Middle, a journal for middle school teachers published by the National Council of Teachers of English, and for an additional ten years continued to write a column for the journal. A recipient of NCTE's Edwin A. Hoey Award for Outstanding Middle School Educator in the English Language Arts, her classroom was featured in the series Making Meaning in Literature, produced by Maryland Public Television for Annenberg/CPB.
