I love the How To Writing Unit of Study in kindergarten. I have developed a variety of ways to weave in art, reading, writing, science, dramatic play, Handworks, and technology to widen learners schema and do help them develop as writers who see interesting stories and meaningful experiences in the life they are living.
I made some of my own How-To Writing paper, and I posted it FREE on Teacher Pay Teachers:
