Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - awful service
I am extremely upset with this buyer. I ordered and paid for the book over a month ago and still have not recieved it. I emailed the buyer over two weeks ago and have still not gotten a response. I would not recommend bying from this person.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - 6 trait writing
This is a good book. It was my text for a self paced class with University of San Diego. Easy to follow. Good examples.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A Good Guide
Very well done and easy to understand. Samples are good and support the ideas throughout.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Practical Traits
This book offers tons of practical approaches and practice scoring for the 6 Traits of Writing. It is written by a recognized master in the field and has been so helpful.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Friendly Read
Spandel's book is an authentic, engaging, and encouraging read for those that teach writing, want help infusing writing, or want to enhance their own writing. It is written conversationally and is well supported with numerous examples. I found it visually appealing as a reader and insightful. (Another review didn't like the visuals because it isn't easy to lift examples "as is" for sharing in class. To that angle I agree, but as a reader the layout is very pleasing.) Highly recommended.
