Scaffolding through the writing process continues to be an effective and successful approach to teach writing. Every lesson builds upon the previous skill within one piece of writing. This provides students with a thorough understanding of how to put a quality piece of writing together. It helps even the most reluctant writers become ROCKSTAR WRITERS! A study shows that 98% of two classes using the program scored in the exceptional range on state testing. You can find it on the ★ BEST SELLER ★ list too!
This resource is packed with ways to MOTIVATE-EDUCATE-DIFFERENTIATE! You will find your students engaged, have already prepped lessons for explicit teaching, and receive jammin’ ideas for differentiation.
What teachers are buzzing about:
“Wow, this is amazing. As a first year 5th grade teacher it is hard to figure everything out that goes into lesson plans while making them interesting and helping the kids develop the writing skills they need to survive. This packet literally lays everything out for you as the teacher including lesson plans, how to set up their notebooks, printout for the kids, and advice on how to present each module. It covers everything you need for a writing workshop for the entire year and can be used either as a whole class instruction or in small groups. I love this product!!!!!!” – Stephanie
“Everything you could need is included in this resource, even models! Definitely recommend this resource, it’s worth the money! Writing resources can be difficult to find and this one is spot on!” – Makayla
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!
What happens if you don’t have confidence in teaching writing?
