Writing Our World™ Earns High Praise from Literacy Expert Joan Sedita

writing

At Writing Our World™, we are committed to providing teachers with research-backed, structured writing instruction that supports all students—especially those who struggle with writing. Because of this, we are thrilled to share this incredible review from literacy expert Joan Sedita, a leading authority in writing instruction, the founder of Keys to Literacy, creator of The Writing Rope™ framework, and author of The Writing Rope: A Framework for Explicit Writing Instruction in All Subjects:

“The practical, well-organized lessons that make up Writing Our World™ are based on an explicit, structured approach to teaching writing that is beneficial to all students, especially those who struggle with writing. Lessons that are aligned across grades K-12 are a real plus in terms of consistent terminology and instructional practices as students move from grade to grade.

In addition to alignment to the scope and sequence of skills identified in The Writing Revolution®*, the WOW™ lessons are aligned with several instructional components identified in The Writing Rope™ instructional framework, including the syntax, text structure (including paragraph structure), and critical thinking strands of the rope.

The K-2 lessons are developmentally appropriate, taking into account the unique needs of young beginning writers. The continued emphasis on the development of sentence and paragraph writing skills as students move into upper grades makes WOW™ a great choice for supplemental and intervention writing instruction for older struggling writers.

Congratulations to the authors of WOW™ for developing a set of instructional lessons that will help teachers and schools address the need for quality writing instruction.”
