What do we do when students are reluctant to write? The most important thing to remember is that it's the conditions, not the kids. Today on the podcast we're talking about the productive struggle of writing with Kelly Boswell, author of the new book Every Kid A Writer: Strategies That Get Everyone Writing. In her book, Kelly provides a different approach to writing instruction; one that centers joy, choice, and recognizes that writing is hard for everyone sometimes. When we accept the inherent struggle of writing, and choose to trust kids with their learning, the result may be a pleasant surprise.
