"These units have everything I needed"
“Writing was one area that I never felt comfortable teaching. Writing Through The Year changed that! These units have everything I needed to get my kids to write and love writing!“
-Greg S., Kindergarten Teacher & Founder of The Kindergarten Smorgasboard
"It was so simple to teach!"
I struggled to find an effective way to teach my students how to write. My previous curriculum did not resonate with my students and was overwhelming to teach. Writing Through the Year was incredibly effective because it provided age-appropriate activities and encouraged student collaboration. It was also simple to teach! Everything I needed for success was right at my fingertips without needing a lot of prep time. I knew this program was actually working when my students begged for writing time! My kindergarten students are now engaged, confident, and successful writers!
-Elizabeth H., Kindergarten Teacher
