Lead a writing revolution in your classroom with the proven Hochman Method

Building on the success of the original best-seller, this new edition of The Writing Revolution adds valuable guidance for teachers seeking a way to bring their students' writing ability up to rigorous state standards. As thousands of educators have already discovered, The Writing Revolution provides the road map they need, clearly explaining how to incorporate the Hochman Method into their instruction, no matter what subject or grade they're teaching and regardless of the ability level of their students.

In addition, the method can:

• Develop analytical abilities

The Writing Revolution takes the mystery out of teaching students to write well.
