Writing Fundamentals Research-Based Support
Because writing matters for success in the school, the community, and the workplace, Schoolwide, Inc.'s Writing Fundamentals Program has a central mission to improve student writing and learning by increasing the tools teachers can use to teach writing. Writing Fundamentals, created by Schoolwide, Inc., is a teaching resource that will help educators raise the quality of their students' writing. Writing Fundamentals is made up of a ready-to-use writing curriculum, along with the most essential books from Schoolwide, Inc.'s writing craft and genre studies set, as well as additional texts which match the strategies taught. The hands-on lessons and accompanying reproducibles, along with the actual texts, provide teachers with the instructional support to teach genre studies and to explore the qualities of good writing with their student writers, from prewriting to revising and publication.

Testing Fundamentals Research-Based Support
Testing Fundamentals is a research-based program specifically designed to explicitly and systematically teach the skills and strategies students need to increase their performances on standardized tests. It uses high quality children's literature to focus on the types of questions students will be required to answer on these tests. Beginning with teacher modeling that focuses on comprehension strategies that are accomplished by thinking aloud, Testing Fundamentals then provides multiple opportunities for guided and independent practice to reinforce the skills and strategies that are being taught. In addition, we focus on beating the test by teaching students test-taking strategies and how to recognize tricks and traps. We also have important components to support struggling readers and invite reflection by both students and teachers. Our program also provides practice tests that are closely aligned with state tests and that focus on the skills and strategies the students have learned.
