Wee Can Write

Learn NWREL’s 6+1 Trait® Writing model using renowned children’s literature that young students (upper preschool–primary) know and love. Teachers will get comfortable with the 6+1 Trait® Writing vocabulary so they can share with their students a common language to talk about writing each day, and provide them with a solid foundation for writing throughout their school lives. Taught by one of the authors of the popular Wee Can Write guidebook, this workshop offers a variety of practical activities that are flexible, creative, take no more than a few minutes to prepare, and can be implemented in the classroom the next day.
