What is the Writing Revolution?

Literacy is both reading and writing proficiency. Just like reading instruction, writing instruction must be explicit and research-based to be effective.

The Writing Revolution is an educational non-profit organization that empowers teachers and administrators with the training and tools needed to deliver effective writing instruction in every grade and every subject area.

For years I've struggled to find effective strategies to teach specific components of writing instead of just saying, 'add more detail'. I feel that these strategies provide access points for all learners and the benefit will be in having a consistent approach across the school.

Kirby Chapman, Educator for Social Studies & Science in Grades 11-12, South Austriala

100% feel that all schools would benefit from this comprehensive writing method; teaching English often feels so wide open in terms of what skills to teach and focus on, particularly when students come up with knowledge gaps. TWR provides a way to manage these gaps by providing targeted and scaffolded instruction that can be adapted to all levels and content areas.

Hearing from educators who used these methods in their classrooms gives life to the book.
