Growing Writers is grounded in decades of literacy and educational research showing that children learn to write best through clear modeling, scaffolded steps and developmentally appropriate practice. Our curriculum blends evidence-based instruction with real classroom experience to help young authors bloom.
Research shows that writing develops through explicit instruction in handwriting, spelling, sentence construction, and genre modeling. These skills give children the foundation they need to express ideas clearly and confidently. Growing Writers incorporates these findings through:
- intentional handwriting routines
- phonics-aligned spelling support
- sentence modeling
- mentor texts that demonstrate genre features
Students grow faster when instruction is clear, direct, and supported with meaningful feedback. Growing Writers lessons emphasize:
- explicit instruction
- modeled examples
- step-by-step routines
- opportunities for guided practice
- simple, actionable feedback for young learners
Young writers thrive when ideas are visual, concrete, and broken into manageable steps. Growing Writers uses:
- anchor charts
- graphic organizers
- templates
- sentence stems
- modeled writing
Growing Writers Framework
Our curriculum brings together the work of leading educational researchers: Steve Graham, John Hattie, Robert Marzano, and Susan Brookhart and translates it into a clear, classroom-ready progression for early writers. From scribbling to sentences to full stories, students grow step-by-step with the right tools, structure, and support.
Built on the developmental stages of early writing
Backed by real classroom experience and proven results
