“Students are writing more and enjoying it! The quality of their writing has grown over time. Teachers are more comfortable facilitating writing and assisting students through the process.”

| Writers Advantage provides a one-hour time block for daily writing, giving students time to practice and succeed. |
| |
| Helping students become effective, fluent, and confident writers requires intensive, multifaceted, extended effort. It calls for a blend of tools, training, and support that is easy for teachers to implement, that works for different groups of students, and that is sustainable over time. |
| |
| The Writers Advantage format provides for a rich variety of activities, including: |
| |
- Daily opportunities for independent, self-directed writing
- Focused lessons on particular aspects of writing, such as writing processes, genres, conventions, or rubrics, allowing teachers to model proficient writing strategies
- Whole-group, small-group, and one-on-one instruction, differentiated to meet individual students’ needs
- Whole-group and small-group discussion and sharing of writing strategies, works-in-progress, and completed assignments
