 Reviser's Toolbox by Barry Lane October 11, 2008
Even though _Reviser's Toolbox_ has some good, effective writing and revising techniques, the activities are a bit too kiddy-ish for my taste. I teach grades 10-12: I found the fonts detracted from the usefullness of the activities and the activities didn't address all of my needs. I find that constructing my own revision pages is better since it's easier for me to focus on the specific skills I want the students to master and on which I want them to focus. I can use a few of the activities and guidelines, but I admit to being disappointed.
One of my colleagues loves this book, however, and she swears by it. She believes her students have become better writers as a result. I recommend checking out the book throroughly before purchase to see if it fits your style. I think this book can help professional writers and students.
 Writing Teacher's Lifeline February 5, 2008
An indispensable book for teachers K-8 useful every day. I wouldn't be without this one in my planning center. It has lesson plans in chapters pertaining to the type of writing being assigned. Cute graphics and inspirational quotes mingle with teaching tips and helpful suggestions. If you teach at any level, this one must be in your writing library!
Barry Lane Rules! November 9, 2007
I fell in love with Barry Lane after I read After the End and knew I had to read more. I found the Reviser's Toolbox and couldn't believe how many great lessons were in there. The children loved the lessons and became better writers. I highly recommend this book and if you ever get a chance go see him live or check out his videos.

As a teacher of elementary writing, I find this to be a bible of writing. Kudos to Barry Lane

I absolutely LOVE this book. While it is helpful to read After the End to get the theory etc, if you are a teacher who loves writing with your children and is looking for new ways to help your children truly REVISE their work, this book is for you.The book is full of wonderful mini-lessons which can be adapted to many different levels. I teach 6th grade, but have recommended it to many younger grade teachers in my building and they love it too. These teachers have not read After the End, but they still able to use the activities with their children and see progress.
