RACHEL - 2nd grade teacher

An amazing resource for a teacher whose strength is not ELA/writing, or if they are a new teacher and have not had the chance to teach writing, or if there are large swings in ability within one class. The organization, step-by-step instruction, the pre-made anchor charts are all amazing. My favorite part is the ROUTINE. Routine is so great for teachers and students.

PATRICIA - 3rd grade teacher

Everything is laid out clearly with daily lesson plans, graphic organizers, anchor charts, and all the tools I need for narrative, informational, and opinion writing. The structure is even great for students who struggle with writing: the scaffolding and model texts help build both confidence and competency. I’d definitely recommend this bundle if you want a ready‑to‑use, comprehensive writing program that requires almost zero prep.

denise - 4th grade TEACHER

This has been such a game changer for my students as I get used to teaching writing in fourth grade, first year in fourth!  It is very step by step and students feel very successful.  They are all participating every day.  I wished I had found this earlier in the year and it is going to be a staple in my room from day 1 next year!!!!! Thank you!

LISA - 5th grade teacher

This has everything you need to teach grammar and writing, all laid out day by day. I like that the writing workshop keeps all the students together. It provides short, daily grammar lessons based on mentor sentences. Students practice writing their own sentences modeled after the mentor sentence to reinforce the grammar skill. They also love the weekly Boom Cards. Thanks for providing everything needed to teach grammar and writing!

Everything is a PDF download, ready to print and use at home.

The Writing Curriculum is a 200+ page PDF with 63 lessons: a 3-lesson intro plus 15 lessons each for personal narrative, fictional narrative, informational, and opinion/argumentative writing. It is built to be worked through twice, for 24 weeks of instruction. Color poster printables and other bonus materials are included as well.

The Grammar Curriculum is a 125-page PDF with 30 weeks of lessons covering 30 standards-aligned grammar skills.

Bundles include separate downloads for each grade range. The Grades 1–8 writing and grammar bundle, for example, comes with six downloads, one writing and one grammar resource per grade span.

Absolutely! You can peek inside both the grammar and writing resources before making a decision.

Every lesson is research-based and has been used in homes and classrooms around the world, so you can feel confident it works.

There’s no fluff and no busywork. Just focused, step-by-step lessons that build real writing skills in small, manageable steps your child can follow with confidence.

It’s also easy to teach, even if writing isn’t your strongest subject. Everything is ready to use from day one with zero prep, so you can open it up and start teaching right away.

And it’s priced to be accessible. You get a complete, full-year curriculum without a hefty price tag.

👉 Take a look at a free sample of the curriculums to see what’s inside.

All three grade level resources (grades 1–2, 3–5, and 6–8) cover the same four units, with skills and expectations adjusted for each grade span:

  • Unit 1: Personal Narrative
  • Unit 2: Fictional Narrative
  • Unit 3: Informational Report
  • Unit 4: Opinion/Argumentative Piece

Within each unit, students learn to plan and write on a focused topic, add details (and dialogue in the narrative units) to strengthen their writing, use transition words to connect ideas, build a strong beginning, middle, and ending, apply conventions correctly, and revise, edit, and publish a complete piece.

The lesson structure and teaching sequence stay the same across all three grade ranges, so the routine feels familiar from grade to grade. The main difference is complexity. Skills and content step up at each level to match grade-level standards.

  • Grammar: Grades 1–2 use simpler mentor sentences and basic grammar skills. Grades 3–5 and 6–8 introduce more advanced concepts and more complex mentor sentences.
  • Writing: The skills, writing samples, and expectations grow more advanced at each level to fit students’ developmental stages. The lesson structure stays consistent, so the teaching approach feels familiar even as the content gets harder.

Most of the time, just match the resource to your students’ grade level: Grades 1–2, Grades 3–5, or Grades 6–8.

If your students have learning differences or haven’t built a solid writing foundation yet, start a grade range lower. The three curriculums build on each other, so working below grade level helps fill in gaps first. Basically, if your students are working below grade level, choose by where they are academically, not by age.

If you have students across more than one grade range, the Grades 1–5 or Grades 1–8 bundle is the best value.

Together, the writing and grammar curriculums give you a complete language arts plan that covers everything your students need to meet grade-level writing and language standards. No searching for extra resources, no wondering if you are covering everything. Just print and teach.

The real advantage is teaching them together. When students work on writing and grammar side by side, they see how the skills connect and are more likely to apply grammar in their own writing instead of treating it as a separate subject.

With 30 cross-curricular writing activities, the Integrated Writing resource helps students strengthen foundational writing skills and reinforce sentence and paragraph writing in other subject areas such as reading, history, science, and math. The activities fit into any subject, are easy to adapt to your current topic, and work well as a quick, meaningful lesson wrap-up. 

The bonus writing training in Offer 3, Elementary Writing Renovation, is a 4-hour course that gives you the strategies, guidance, and inspiration to transform your writing instruction and help your students become confident, independent writers. At its core is a 4-step process that takes you from identifying ineffective teaching methods to building the writing class you’ve always wanted.
