What teachers are buzzing about:

“Such a great resource – one of the best purchases I have made! Writing has never been a favorite activity for my students, but this has allowed them to be a little more creative and more willing to show me what they can do!.” -MissLentz

“I love that these are mini-lessons that build on each other. I have a very short time to teach writing this year, and this is a great resource to have for planning quick, mini lessons! Thank you!” -Carrie

Do you have limited time for writing instruction? Do you want to use this program without the interactive pages?

No problem! This program is flexible! You can teach the lessons, print off the mini anchor charts to put in student notebooks in place of the interactive pages, then have time for students to write their own stories!
