"After my daughter's class got the Draw Write Now series, all the books were quickly selected during the free choice times. During recesses, I often witnessed the teacher needing to insist that a child put a book away and go outside to play." --parent of child, age 7 My mother challenged her students and expected the most from everyone in her class. I was a bright seven-year-old, but I remember joining the class midyear, working on math and thinking, "These kids are smart . . . this is hard . . . but it's so much fun here," then getting back to work with resolve. Everyone's attitude in the classroom was positive -- we were there to learn! We began the school day drawing pictures together. Each child in the class -- bright or slow to learn, English-speaking or struggling with the language, artistic or non-artistic -- looked at their drawing and could say with pride, "Look what I made!" Drawing instruction made success the main ingredient of my mother's classroom. --Kim Stitzer Coauthor, Draw Write Now, Books 1-8
