This book advocates for the creation of writing centers in 7–12 schools and explains why the school library is the best place for the writing center.  There is a glaring absence of writing centers in today's K–12 schools. More and more students are being asked in college entrance testing to submit samples of their writing, and employers are expecting their workers to write correctly and clearly. This book addresses the critical lack of writing centers below the undergraduate level. It demonstrates how middle school and high school librarians can create writing centers in their school libraries, explains how to assist students through a one-on-one writing tutorial method, and gives students and teachers the tools for learning and understanding the complex art of writing.  Author Timothy Horan—inventor of the School Library Writing Center—establishes why school libraries represent the best—and most logical—places to create writing centers, and why school librarians are the natural choice to direct writing center operations. He then takes readers through the process of creating a writing center from original conception up through opening day. Additional topics covered include how to publicize and \"grow\" your School Library Writing Center; maintaining your writing center for efficient operation on a daily basis as well as for years to come; how to become an effective writing center director and writing tutor; the most current technology that can be used to assist in the writing, composition, and research process; and working with English language learner (ELL) students within your writing center.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50374986203409,"sku":"CIN1440835780G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52135202980113,"sku":"NLS9781440835780","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1440835780.jpg?v=1751457506"},{"product_id":"teenage-writer-book-timothy-horan-9781538153178","title":"The Teenage Writer","description":"An accessible guide to help teenagers improve all aspects of their writing skills, from preparing a research paper to creating works of fiction Writing well is a worthwhile skill for anyone to master, but it is especially important for teenagers. To be successful, young adults must write for school, college, and employment; and sometimes, young adults write to be creative or to express themselves. Despite this, most teens don’t know how to write well, and this can be a source of great frustration and stress.  In The Teenage Writer: A Guide to Writing for School and Creativity, Dr. Timothy Horan presents a remedy for this deficiency. He starts from a belief that all teens are writers at heart—whether they are writing for fun or for school—and can develop their skills and writing potential through proper instruction and practice. Written with a light touch, Horan uses experience, compassion, and humor to make all aspects of writing transparent and understandable. In this book, for example, he provides readers with the following advice: The best writing is clear and simpleAlways start with an outlineAnalyze things in terms of threesWrite the way you talkBelieve in yourself and in your ideasFrom writing an outline, to a paragraph, to a research paper, Horan explains all steps of writing in an accessible, enjoyable manner that takes the anxiety out of the process. An invaluable guide for young writers of all levels and abilities, this book will also be useful for parents, teachers, and all who want to understand the art of writing well.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51504100081937,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51504101097745,"sku":"NIN9781538153178","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52688905011473,"sku":"NLS9781538153178","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1538153173.jpg?v=1756101390"},{"product_id":"writing-and-growing-book-timothy-horan-9781475850222","title":"Writing and Growing","description":"This book contains twenty original writing projects created specifically for high school students.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52530624266513,"sku":"NLS9781475850222","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781475850222.jpg?v=1760653322"},{"product_id":"writing-and-growing-book-timothy-horan-9781475850239","title":"Writing and Growing","description":"This book contains twenty original writing projects created specifically for high school students.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52530624823569,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52530625282321,"sku":"NLS9781475850239","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781475850239.jpg?v=1760653317"},{"product_id":"let-s-create-writers-book-timothy-horan-9781475850208","title":"Let's Create Writers","description":"Timothy Horan presents an original and highly effective writing program whose major goal is to transform middle school students into competent and confident writers.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52531697942801,"sku":"NLS9781475850208","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53014734897425,"sku":"NIN9781475850208","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781475850208.jpg?v=1760657642"},{"product_id":"let-s-create-writers-book-timothy-horan-9781475850192","title":"Let's Create Writers","description":"Timothy Horan presents an original and highly effective writing program whose major goal is to transform middle school students into competent and confident writers.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52531698204945,"sku":"NLS9781475850192","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781475850192.jpg?v=1760657643"},{"product_id":"create-your-school-library-writing-center-book-timothy-horan-9781440835254","title":"Create Your School Library Writing Center","description":"The inventor of the School Library Writing Center makes it easy for librarians and teachers of kindergarten through sixth grade learners to provide highly effective writing instruction.
