What Teachers Are Saying: “Using Write Source has helped me with starting small and working toward the bigger picture. My students seem to understand the pieces of an essay and paragraph. With this information we have more time to focus on the other traits now. I’m pleased with the fourth grade results (we can do better, much!) but, we have a solid foundation to begin with from here on out. The program has helped me with my own level of comfort because I can see the small picture that needs to be enlarged. (Paragraph to Essay)” LaShalle Willis, grade 4

“As the curriculum “person” at Tyler I saw an excitement about teaching writing that I’ve never seen before. It is usually the subject that teachers like to skip, it was too much work, and there was never any clear-cut guidelines to follow. The Write Source and the 6-Traits of Writing provided the clarity teachers needed to implement a writing program without tearing their hair out. Even after the pilot ended, the writing at Tyler continues. The teachers and students are enjoying the curriculum and are becoming more successful in the writing arena! I believe that writers are good readers, the Write Source is the way to go!” Patti Cumming, Program Specialist

Revising with Rubrics

Imagine...Delivering an effective writing lesson on the first day of school! Students all know the same process. Students all know the same terminology. Students share a common perception of quality writing. Students and parents understand exactly how papers will be assessed. Students can use WT6 strategies to write across the curriculum.
