Why buy writing resources from ink & us?
In the past, I have taught the 6-trait writing curriculum, Lucy Calkins Writing Workshop, and the SRSD model. I enjoyed using all of them, but my students still needed more explicit/direct writing instruction, specifically so they could write on-demand for standardized writing prompts. If this fits you - and this sounds like the support your students need - I hope you will try out my resources!
