What do you do when students are struggling to write because they can’t read the grade-level text?
The solution: Lower the reading level, not the writing expectation.
Teach the writing skill using lower-level texts students can actually access. Once they understand the writing skill and can apply it, THEN move them to grade-level texts.
One skill at a time. Build the foundation first.
And of course, every Writing Files case comes with a FREE resource!
CASE SOLVED.
Your FREE resource for CASE 002 is our Leveled Writing Checklists
These checklists lay out the entire essay step-by-step and come in three different levels for each grade level and genre. Students can use them to check their own writing or peer-edit a classmate’s writing. As students grow as writers, simply move them up to the next level.
