Being able to communicate effectively through writing can change the world, and teachers have the power, responsibility, and joy of doing it - a  student at a time, a day at a time.

This book is about the art of motivating our students to want to learn.  It's about building and strengthening the literacy foundations of those who most need it.  It's about providing a scaffold for further learning.  It's about leading our students slowly but surely to success.

This book is about our students.  It's a rescue mission.
