Jeff Anderson and literacy coach Whitney La Rocca take you into
primary and intermediate classrooms where students are curious
about language, engage with the world around them, and notice and
experiment with the conventions all writers use. Instead of
chanting grammar rules or completing countless convention
worksheets, we invite young writers to explore conventions as
special effects devices that activate meaning. Our students study
authentic texts and come to recognize these “patterns of
power”—the essential grammar conventions that readers and
writers require to make meaning. The first part of the book
introduces a vibrant approach to grammar instruction and sets up
what you need to immerse yourself in the Patterns of Power process,
inviting students to experiment and play with language. The second
part of the book offers over seventy practical, ready-to-use
lessons, including: Extensive support materials Over 100 mentor
sentences, curated for grades 1–5 Student work samples Tips and
power notes to facilitate your own knowledge and learning Examples
for application In Patterns of Power Jeff and Whitney suggest that
taking just five minutes from your reading workshop and five
minutes from your writing workshop to focus on how the conventions
connect reading and writing will miraculously affect your
students’ understanding of how language works for readers and
writers.
