Your writing curriculum sucks the joy out of writing
You've been teaching long enough to know that the scripted curriculum in your textbook is creating disengaged, reluctant writers who ask "How many sentences?" every time you mention writing a paragraph.
- Your students are following some made-up formula instead of finding their authentic voice.
- Meanwhile, you're seeing the same errors year after year. Lowercase i's scattered everywhere, run-on sentences, sentence fragments, and commas either nowhere to be found or sprinkled randomly like confetti.
- You've tried everything your curriculum guide suggests, but your test scores aren't budging and your students still dread writing time.
You know there has to be a better way. You just need permission to try something completely different.
After 23 years in upper elementary, I know what you're facing
After 23 years in the classroom teaching everything from first through eighth grade, I used to absolutely dread grammar instruction too. As a published romance author and Teacher Consultant with the National Writing Project, I knew good writing when I saw it. But getting my students there? That was the challenge.
What makes my approach different? I create hands-on, interactive resources that engage all five senses. Instead of worksheets, your students will be physically building sentences, moving around the room, and hearing sound effects while they learn. It’s play-based learning that feels like game time but delivers serious results.
My test scores have gone up at least 20% year after year for 15 years using these methods. When you get kids excited about the process, the learning naturally follows.
