Rethinking Writing One Word at a Time: Eight Parts of Speech: Supplemental Activities and Resources Workbook

"Sheila Beverly's new workbook, Rethinking Writing One Word at a Time, is a promising tool for helping

students who struggle with writing. Mrs. Beverly, who holds a B.A. in English and an M. Ed. In reading

education, has years of experience teaching students to write. . . She uses direct teaching of the eight

parts of speech as an entry point - a conceptual structure and motivational "hook" to get hesitant

writers to put their ideas down on paper. Mrs. Beverly uses a workshop, collaborative model to keep her

students writing - drafting, sharing, revising, and editing. It is obvious that much thinking, trying out,

has gone into the activities described in this workbook. . . She is a committed educator who is

passionate about empowering students to express their voices in print."- Dr. Darrell Morris, Professor of

Reading Education, 2016-2017 Distinguished Graduate Faculty AwardDirector of Anderson Reading Clinic

Department of Reading Education & Special Education, Emeritus Faculty, Appalachian State

University"This workbook, containing resources and supplemental activities, . . . games, charts, and

lessons, has been Divinely orchestrated and blessed. Adults and children will learn and understand the

Eight Parts of Speech and how to utilize this knowledge to become better communicators. Teachers will

benefit tremendously. . . a fresh approach on how to introduce writing using the Eight Parts of Speech. .

Experience"Written communication skills remain a vital asset in our increasing technological world. . .

Shelia Beverly's Rethinking Writing One Word at a Time provides a framework for teachers to cultivate a

community of strong writers and shares engaging activities to help students acquire essential language

skills."- Teri G. Lewis, BA English, MEd of ReadingEnglish Department Chair, Retired"I wish I had

Rethinking Writing One Word at a Time . . . when I was teaching in the classroom. Finally, a workbook

that really breaks down grammar and writing in a way that builds and makes sense to the teacher and

the learner. The "Grammar Bubble Manipulative Toy," games, and writing prompts. . . are great for

emerging writers. . . It is interactive and thought provoking. . . ."- Dr. Renita L. Webb, Ph.D. Educational
