What’s the Difference Between Step-by-Step Writing® and Rockstar Writers®?

Step-by-Step Writing® is the heart of Rockstar Writers®—a comprehensive, writing curriculum designed to cover your entire school year. But Rockstar Writers® takes it a step further!

It’s a powerful three-component system that includes:

Step-by-Step Writing® Program in both printable and digital formats. (Teachers love to use both formats. We have digital formats for all individual grade levels.)

What is the difference between the grade levels and combination bundles?

Grade level programs feature grade-appropriate mentor texts, modeled pieces, task cards, practice, and prompts tailored to the appropriate standards.

Combination bundles (1-2, 3-5, 6-8) cover all grade-level standards within those grades. Each bundle is one program with generic standards, and are perfect for multi-grade teachers.
