Teacher-friendly and Built on Best PracticesMake the most of the writing workshop with CraftPlus. Objectives, lesson plans, scoring rubrics, and literature models give teachers the right tools to integrate writing process, writing-craft skills, and conventions.

Teachers get daily writing support. Schools gain a unified, systematic, and differentiated approach to writing. Every grade-level teacher plays a vital role in preparing students for assessments.

The emphasis is on student practice. Weekly, formative assessments guide and inform instruction. Formal assessments at the end of each 20-lesson genre block take students through the writing process and provide evidence of learning.

CraftPlus strikes a balance between explicit skills instruction and a process-based approach. Students learn to organize writing in genre-specific formats, create well-crafted drafts, practice conventions authentically, and provide and receive substantive feedback. The program emphasizes assessed, informational writing genres.

Each core Teacher Pack ($199) includes: Grade-level Daily Writing Lessons: A year’s worth of desk-level lessons, expectations, and assessments.

A Curriculum Guide: The differentiated curriculum includes tools for planning, teaching, and assessing instruction

Integrated professional resources:

Grade K-2 Teacher Packs include Teaching the Youngest Writers and Building a Writing Community.

Grade 3-5 Teacher Packs include Building a Writing Community and Listen to This.

Grade 6-8 Teacher Packs include Crafting Comparison Papers, Crafting Expository Papers, and Crafting Opinion and Persuasive Papers.
