"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!

"Teaching Writing has never been easier!"
“My students became strong writers using Writing Through the Years. It is no longer my least favorite time of the day, and my students are engaged and invested in their writing.
They love that they can write about topics that interest them and now have the confidence and tools needed to assist them. I love that students can write independently and that I am able to have one-on-one student conferences to meet with students about individual goals."
-Angela G., Kindergarten Teacher and founder of The Daily Alphabet
"My parents could not believe the growth!"
“My classroom went from a sleepy read-aloud to a fully engaged interactive read-aloud. I saw growth not just with comprehension skills; it carried over to their oral language skills, too! I will never go back to the way I used to teach reading before Engaging Readers."
-Andrea G., Kindergarten Teacher and First Grade Teacher
