 Writing Fundamentals Program Overview
Writing Fundamentals is a selection of Units of Study for Grades K-8 that can be used individually to enrich and/or support existing writing instruction or in a series as a comprehensive writing workshop curriculum. Writing Fundamentals Units of Study are available in both English and Spanish.

Each Unit of Study includes touchstone or mentor texts, corresponding mini-lessons, and teaching materials that clearly and methodically walk teachers and students through each stage of the writing process, from Immersion to Publication.
