Using oral language and thinking skills as a foundation for successful writing

Successful writing is difficult for struggling readers. This 20-lesson curriculum uses oral language and thinking skills as a foundation for successful writing. The curriculum includes a Student Book and a Teacher s Guide.

The Student Book incorporates clear illustrations, graphic organizers, and writing frames to support reluctant writers. It begins with What is Writing?, followed by three chapters focusing on forms of expository writing. Each chapter has five lessons that follow an identical sequence: plan, write and review.

The Teacher s Guide includes lesson plans and writing rubrics. Since expository writing is required in all language arts curricula, Writing With Purpose aligns completely with academic standards.

Each Introductory Kit includes one Student Book, one Teacher s Guide with PDF of Student Book Pages on Win/Mac CD, and a Classroom license for printouts.

The Classroom Set includes 8 Student Books and all the other items in the introductory kit.

This program is ideal for:

• Special Education / Special Needs
• Struggling Learners
• Students-at-Risk
• Learning Disabled
• Remedial Education
• Differentiated Education
