Step Up to Writing
Step Up to Writing instructional strategies and writing lessons help students understand the importance of each step in the writing process. Beginning writers explicitly learn and practice each phase of the process. Common expectations and language for writing across every grade level builds confidence as students grow into more advanced writers and the process becomes fluid and automatic.

The purpose for us wanting to purchase this program is to vertical align our writing process across grade levels more effectively. Focus on the specific text types emphasized in state standards: informative/explanatory, opinion/argument, and narrative writing. Emphasis on using technology for research and to produce and publish work.
