Hi! My name is Jen Bengel. I am the teacher and owner of Out of This World Literacy. I've been in education for over 16 years. I spent 10 years in public schools, teaching in grades 3-6 and working as a Literacy Collaborative Coordinator. I earned a graduate degree in Reading Education and a Post-Graduate degree as a Literacy Coordinator, training under Irene Fountas and her colleagues at Lesley University in Cambridge, MA. I wrote, "Inspired Writers" because I believe that every student has the potential to become a passionate, lifelong writer that has important things to share with the world in only the way they can. Reading, "Inspired Writers" will provide you with all the tools you need to reach every writer and make the writing process FUN! Get ready to inspire all your young writers!!
Testimonials
“This book was awesome! I loved that chapters on setting up notebooks, teaching students how to revise and edit, and grading – my nemesis! The way Jen writes is real and authentic. Never did she sound clinical, stuffy or all knowing. Jen really knows how to relate to her readers, especially when she shares her past reading/writing memories. The format of the book is great, especially all the pictures of anchor charts and lists. I feel like I am really ready to tackle this coming school year and move past my fear of teaching writing.”
Jennifer, 2nd Grade, 13 Years Teaching
“This book was so motivational and inspiring for my writing instruction! Jen brings the perfect words for helping you believe in yourself and your students as writers and gives the practical skills and resources to make the inspired writing happen. Every educator who reads this will put it down with more confidence in their ability to teach writing.”
Elizabeth, 6th Grade, 5 Years Teaching
“The book was amazing and such an easy read! It gave interactive ideas and tips that blew me away. The book illustrates how to navigate the murky waters of writing instruction with sample teacher language and guidance for making reading and writing connections. I have taught reading and writing for years, and these insights, tricks, and tips provided major aha moments. I clearly see areas where I could make adjustments and tweaks to inspire and engage my writers on a daily basis. The handouts are a bonus because they are simple to use and student friendly. Jen's work is always impressive, but this book brings everything together, therefore making it a must read for any educator. She provides research and evidence to support her steps. As a coach, I can't wait to share my new knowledge and hopefully use this in a book study! Thank you!”
