From Striving to Thriving Writers

Renowned literacy expert Stephanie Harvey teams up with authors/writing consultants Sara Holbrook and Michael Salinger to introduce writing frameworks—short writing scaffolds to support student writing. This innovative writing tool gets strivers engaged and invested in their writing, while providing a launch pad for thrivers to reach new heights. The authors present 27 frameworks with step-by-step lessons that emphasize teacher modeling, repeated reading, discussion, partnered research, writing, revision, and sharing; the lessons build both content knowledge and communication skills.
