The purpose of this article is to describe how teachers implemented student‐led minilessons in writing instruction. We use observations from two elementary classrooms to provide examples of student‐led instruction focused on digital and translingual composing. Through these examples, we outline three steps teachers can take to support student‐led composing instruction: (1) look for innovative student composing practices, (2) yield the floor to students, and (3) lend support as needed. We conclude by discussing how student‐led composing instruction positions children as experts and models in the classroom.
