Writing with Purpose

Successful writing is difficult for struggling readers. This 20-lesson curriculum uses oral language and thinking skills as a foundation for successful writing. It supports reluctant writers by incorporating illustrations rich in content, graphic organizers and writing frames. Since expository writing is required in all language arts curricula, Writing With Purpose aligns completely with academic standards. By Angie Sterling-Orth and Linda Schreiber, both MS, CCC-SLP.
