Testimonials
•I have been teaching for over 30 years. Throughout my career, I have used many different writing programs and instructional approaches, but teaching using this structure has been by far the most rewarding! I witness the joy students experienced as writers. They are excited to write and take pride in revising and improving their own writing.

•We have seen tremendous growth in our student writing. Students who were producing little to no writing have been consistently producing clear, organized text-dependent responses throughout the year.
— Literacy Coach
The rubric quickly lets me see where my students might be struggling and I’m able to provide quick but very specific feedback to help them improve their writing. This allows to me to reteach more intentionally and plan mini lessons that align with the standards and what my specific students need at that time.
