Teachers College Writing Units of Study for Grades K-8

Primary, intermediate and middle school-level teachers face an important challenge: teaching students how to write, while supporting their developing identity as writers. Many teachers find that utilizing a Writer’s Workshop instructional framework can help meet this challenge.
