Description

In her moving and personal book Enticing Hard-to-Reach Writers, Ruth Ayres weaves together her experience as a mother, teacher, and writer.

She explores the power of stories to heal children from troubled backgrounds and offers up strategies for helping students discover and write about their own stories of strength and survival.

She shares her own struggles and triumphs and hard-earned lessons from raising a family of four adopted children.

Her experience is invaluable to any teacher whose has met children living in poverty, in unstable households, or in fear of abuse.

Ayres explores brain research and the ways trauma can change the brain and how encouraging all students to write can help offset some of these effects.

She believes that all students benefit from revealing their stories, by communicating information and opinion that allows darkness to turn to light in the lives of children.

In the last part of her book she offers up practical suggestions for enticing all writers, regardless of their struggles.

Enticing Hard-to-Reach Writers invites you on a journey to become a teacher who refuses to give up on any student, who helps children believe that they can have a positive impact on the world, and who—in some cases becomes the last hope for a child to heal.
