Bring out the authenticity in student writing with Writing A-Z.
Flexible and teacher-centered
Teachers can follow the built-in scope and sequence within Writing A-Z or choose how best to use the high-quality writing and grammar resources to supplement their core curriculum to meet their unique goals and students’ needs.
Explicit, authentic approach
Opinion, informative, and narrative writing instruction are woven into the writing process to create authenticity in student writing. These steps (prewriting, drafting, revising, and publishing) are integrated within a genre study to help develop engaged, confident, independent writers.
WaLT: Writing and learning together
The digital writing tool WaLT provides students in grades 2-5 with a creative space to plan, organize, evaluate, and revise their work while centralizing the writer’s notebook, reference texts, graphic organizers, and checklists. This allows them to complete the writing process 100% digitally with guidance and modeling from the teacher.
Auto-assigned grammar practice
Students receive appropriate, grade-level grammar practice to apply their learning and demonstrate mastery of key skills taught in each lesson. Videos and practice games are automatically assigned to provide critical, independent practice opportunities.

How Writing Instruction Improves Reading Proficiency
Research-based literacy instruction isn't limited to just reading—writing is essential too. Writing instruction should be integrated with the development of reading skills, as both activities revolve around the use and understanding of language. When students engage in writing, they reinforce their grasp of language structures, such as syntax, grammar, and word usage.

A flexible, well-rounded approach to writing instruction
The Science of Reading also includes writing. Like foundational literacy skills instruction, writing instruction should be explicit and systematic as students learn the key skills necessary to become strong writers. The Simple View of Writing is a helpful framework for thinking about the components of a strong writing curriculum.
