Becoming Better Writers...

One of the major instructional shifts in the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) is the renewed focus on the importance of Writing.

Bethalto's New Writing Workshop

Our new writing workshop units will:


  • help you teach opinion/argument, information, and narrative writing with increasing complexity and sophistication
  • unpack the Common Core writing standards as you guide students to attain and exceed those expectations
  • foster high-level thinking, including regular chances to synthesize, analyze, and critique
  • develop and refine strategies for writing across the curriculum
  • support greater independence and fluency through intensive writing opportunities
  • include strategic performance assessments to help monitor mastery and differentiate instruction
  • provide a ladder of exemplar texts that model writing progressions across grades K–8
