A technology-based approach to writing instruction: Complementary to the Teaching to Standards: English Language Arts curriculum and companion product to Access Language Arts software for reading.
Students are supported step-by-step in constructing grade-aligned opinion paragraphs about eight adapted pieces of literature, including fiction and nonfiction. The program also includes activities for improving reading comprehension and vocabulary development. Researched and proven effective in secondary classrooms, this program may be integrated during instruction using Teaching to Standards: English Language Arts, or used alone to achieve standards-aligned skills in both reading and writing.
The Access Language Arts: WRITE web-based version is a one or three-year subscription for up to 20 students. Teachers can manage student access to apps, view results, and monitor student usage. Students can log directly into to the app or from a student desktop launch page.
