All of the hard work has been done for you! FIRST GRADE WRITING CURRICULUM SCOPE:

Each unit has 22 days of scripted lesson plans. I am incredibly excited to share with you my brand new First Grade Writing Curriculum! EVERYTHING you need to teach writing is covered in this curriculum. Explicit writing instruction must take place for students to progress. In order for this growth to happen, students need opportunities to write every single day. However, when implemented effectively, teaching a 1st grader how to write can be incredibly rewarding! There is so much growth by the end of the school year. In fact, this is perhaps the biggest struggle for many teachers in my private Facebook group. While we are talking about this struggle, let’s be honest: not all kids love to write. Without a doubt, teaching a child how to write in first grade is one of the most challenging aspects of teaching.
