Kindergarten Writing Resource

Occasionally I get e-mails from the National Writing Project that highlight what's going on concerning writing instruction in the United States. Most recently I followed one of its links to a book review of Teaching Writing in Kindergarten: A Structured Approach to Daily Writing That Helps Every Child Become a Confident, Capable Writer by Randee Bergen (available from Scholastic). Since I am interested in the teaching of writing to young children, I would be interested in knowing if you have used this text as a resource. It sounds like a step-by-step approach with some detailed lesson plans, which would be perfect for a first-year teacher, or perhaps even the veteran who desires to organize her writing "curriculum" in a more logical sequence. You can read the review here.
