Decoding Writing with The 39 Clues featuring Ruth Culham and the Traits of Writing | Scholastic.com
Upcoming free webinar from Scholastic
Tuesday, April 5, 1pm ET 10 am PT - my friend Tyler Reed says:
"Scholastic has an exciting video webcast for students and classrooms coming up with Ruth Culham (of “Traits of Writing” fame) and the authors of The 39 Clues series to help inspire good writing in kids.
It features four of the authors from the book series, and is anchored by writing instruction from Ruth. The idea is that these authors and The 39 Clues series are perfect “writing mentors” and “mentor texts” for kids." -
