  1. I got Interactive WRiting Across Grade Levels last summer and haven’t read it all, so it will be great to follow along with everyone!

  2. Procrastinator me waited until this week to order (Amazon prime spoiled!) and it says it wont ship now for 1-4 weeks! Looks like its out of stock in other places…anyone see it anywhere else?

    1. GAH!!!!! I am a HORRIBLE procrastinator too! Don’t worry, you can always catch up if it is not to you in time.

    1. When will be starting our PLC on Interactive Writing? I already started to read, I couldn’t wait! he he

  3. I have the same question as Maryann, above – where should I look for book study posts? My book arrived quickly from Amazon – even though when I ordered it it said 3-4 weeks. It was more like 3-4 days!

    1. I totally agree! The best part of online book studies is they are always there waiting for us! I hope you love the book!
