"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. . ."- Linda Beverly, BS of Elementary School Education, Primary Reading Teacher, Retired-34 Years of Experience"Written communication skills remain a vital asset in our increasing technological world. . .
