It also includes engaging materials and ways to differentiate.

Rockstar Writers includes the printable Step-by-Step Writing program but also has over 80 mini-lesson instructional videos, a digital version, and instructor training aligned to the grade level.

Three Important Components:

• Step-by-Step Writing: This program is described above. It comes in printable and digital versions that can be used interchangeably. Teachers LOVE to be able to print pages for a notebook, then use the digital practice and self-check slides. It also includes grade-level grammar lessons in the editing stage!

• Instructional Videos: These animated videos are designed to keep students’ attention and are available for every lesson in Step-by-Step Writing. They will give the instructor a breather and are perfect for e-learning, absent students, and substitutes! They provide quick instructions for each mini-lesson (most are under 5 minutes). They can be downloaded and sent directly to students.

• Training and Support: Rock your writing instruction with training and support! Build your confidence with training in every unit. Plus, there is training for progress monitoring, note-taking, and much more! There are scripted lesson plans to eliminate guesswork, chaos, and confusion! There are exemplars so you can confidently model each lesson! And there is a Facebook group if you need more guidance!

So basically, there is something for everyone. Do you just need the printable Step-by-Step Writing program, or do you need the three components?
