WHY STEP-BY-STEP WRITING®?
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™! One proven study shows that 98% of two classes using the program scored in the exceptional range on state testing. Now thousands of teachers are having the same success.
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 happens if you don’t have confidence in teaching writing?
No problem! After 26 years teaching in the classroom, a Masters Degree and National Board Certification, I now serve as a writing coach and curriculum designer. I created this all-inclusive STEP-BY-STEP WRITING® program to share my SECRET TO WRITING SUCCESS. I offer an exclusive Facebook Group to anyone with this writing program. It will guide and support you through a year of writing. If you are interested in detailed training, I also off ONLINE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. Writing is my jam!
What is the difference in this resource and the specific grade-level for 6, 7, 8?
This one is completely editable for those who need to change languages. It is also ideal for those who teach multiple grade levels. It is the only one that is digital for those grade levels.
Please note: If you want separate practice, model, prompts, assessments, and task cards for each of the 3 grade levels, it would be best to purchase each grade level separately. This one is one program, not a bundle of all 3 grade levels.
Now you can take those reluctant writers and transform them in ROCKSTAR WRITERS!
