This book translates the best current research on adolescent writing instruction into teacher-friendly practices that are easy to implement in today’s diverse classrooms. Leading experts present instructional methods that are applicable across the curriculum as well as specific, proven techniques to build writing skills and promote critical thinking in English language arts, social studies, science, and math. Key chapters address multimodal writing and pedagogical uses of generative artificial intelligence (AI). Other essential topics include self-regulated strategy development, culturally sustaining writing practices, writing for college readiness, and teaching argument writing. Guiding Questions, classroom examples, and Action Steps in each chapter enhance the book’s utility as a teacher resource and course text.

Steve Graham, EdD, is a Regents Professor and the Warner Professor in the Division of Leadership and Innovation at Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, Arizona State University. Since the 1980s, he has studied how writing develops, how to teach it effectively, and how it can be used to support reading and learning. Dr. Graham’s research involves typically developing writers and students with special needs in both elementary and secondary schools, with much of this research occurring in classrooms in urban schools. He is the recipient of the Thorndike Career Award from Division 15 of the American Psychological Association, the William S.

She served as Director and Principal Investigator of the WRITE Center at UCI and Principal Investigator of the Pathway to Academic Success Project, a professional development intervention that takes a cognitive strategies approach to teaching text-based argument writing in secondary school.
