Framed within the context of writing workshop, the book examines the reasons for reading student work and provides various methods for helping students improve as writers. Formative assessment presents teachers with multiple opportunities to read student work, with a clear focus, thereby supporting students in all stages of the writing process.Chapter topics range from rubrics to grades, from selfassessment to paper load. Student work samples from all stages of the writing process emphasize the importance of considering each piece of writing a student creates, no matter how brief, as an opportunity to learn.

Every suggestion in the book has been classroom tested with the help of 'experts'students ages five to fourteenwho are quoted throughout the book.
