What teachers are buzzing about:

“I can’t say enough about how great this resource is. We’ve finished the first unit, and I followed each lesson as written out! The grades three and four aligned, but had different lessons, so I looked like a superstar teacher in the first paragraph writing month. Best thing bought from TpT! Would recommend wholeheartedly from a veteran 22-year teacher!” – Diana

“Love this resource! It has helped transform my students into writers and has made them way more excited about writing. There is enough information to use it with no prep, but also has the flexibility of adapting it for your classroom.” -Kaila

“I have been a reluctant writing teacher in the past, but this unit has already given me more confidence at writing instruction. I have noticed dramatic improvement in my 3rd grader’s writing and detail. She’s improved from being more of a “graphic novel” author to a “juicy” author. I’m thrilled to have found this incredible resource.”
