Writing Pieces That Are Standards Based:
This resource contains writing pieces that align to the writing standards so that students are continuously exposed and reintroduced to these types of writing pieces. Students will enjoy writing about different back to school/August/September topics with these different writing pieces.

Spiral Your Writing Through The School Year: When you use the monthly writing centers, your students will receive continued practice of the writing standards. Each monthly pack contains the same types of writing so that students are able to continue to strengthen their writing skills in each area. NO MORE EXPLAINING WHAT TO DO EVERY TIME THEY GO TO THEIR WRITING CENTER! What a dream, right?

Give your students the freedom to choose: Create a menu board with examples for your students so that they can choose which writing piece they want to write. By giving them the freedom to choose, they will enjoy writing and will probably write more.

Your students are receiving extra writing practice: I know that I have a difficult time fitting writing into my daily schedule. By incorporating writing into my guided reading centers, students are writing more than ever before! They feel more confident with their writing by getting the extra writing time during their center time and they write more since they get to choose the type of writing piece.
