- Craft Lessons Second Edition: Teaching Writing K-8
Since its publication in 1998 Craft Lessons by Ralph Fletcher and JoAnn Portalupi has become a mainstay of writing teachers, both new and experienced. Readers value the pithy, practical lessons—each printed on one page—and appreciate the instructional language geared to three grade-level groupings: K–2, 3–4, and 5–8. This new edition provides up-dated examples and many new features.

- Talking About Writing (DVD): (Grades 3-5)
Ralph Fletcher and JoAnn Portalupi write, "Writing conferences can be difficult to manage, and it's tempting to omit them from the workshop, but these one-to-one interactions are crucial. Writers need response, not only from their peers but from us as well." In this two-part series we revisit (See When Students Write by the same authors) Bailey's Elementary school on the outskirts of Washington, DC, to watch and listen as accomplished teachers confer with students about their writing.

- When Students Write (DVD) (K-8)
The four videos by Ralph Fletcher and JoAnn Portalupi (developed at Bailey's Elementary School, a school with many ELLs in the outskirts of Washington DC) cover all the practical components necessary for establishing and implementing a successful writing workshop, including the importance of choice, creating a risk-taking environment, the difference between skills and craft, the writer's notebook, the writing conference, revision, the role of literature, and much more. When used in conjunction with the authors' books, Craft Lessons and Nonfiction Craft Lessons, these programs provide a practical resource on how best to teach writing.
