Didactic methodology of the Writing and Reading Workshop

In a rigorous but flexible framework, the students experience the possibility of writing authentic texts with their personality and interests at the center.
Writing and Reading Workshop series
The Writing and Reading Workshop is a methodological approach that was developed in the United States in the 1970s based on solid foundations of experimentation and pedagogical research. Each volume in this series offers a writing workshop on a genre or text type according to the principles of the WRW, with mini-lessons and materials ready for the teacher as well as tools for planning other work programs based on the level of competence of the class.
