Lucky to Learn Writing Foundations Unit

Writing is the subject teachers often loathe to teach, and the subject that schools/districts often don’t provide curriculum for. Let’s be honest, there are just not a lot of quality & engaging writing programs for 2nd grade! Until now!

A few of our favorite things in this writing curriculum —

• Students and teachers are going to love writing. This curriculum is engaging, purposeful, and meaningful! Each week of lessons connects to a real-world writer. The activities are fun and scaffolded, and they aren’t overwhelming or tedious.
• It’s SO EASY for you to prep and teach. The teacher slides are click and go! They have speaker notes embedded, so you will know just what to say & teach on each slide. Student materials are mainly print and go as well!
• The lessons utilize explicit instruction, which sets all of your students up for success with writing! Say goodbye to the long line of kids at your desk who are frustrated because they don’t know what to do. You’ll explain, model, practice, and students will apply what you are teaching them.
• Grammar skills are embedded in the lessons, so you don’t have to add a separate grammar time to your day. Research says teaching grammar this way will help students apply the grammar to their writing! Win-win!
• Self-regulation strategies are integrated & practiced in each lesson because writing is very complex for students. This helps build their stamina, resilience, goal-setting abilities, positive attitudes, and more.
• Ideas for intervention and extensions are listed on the lesson plans so you can easily differentiate as needed.
• It fits perfectly into a 30-minute writing time, or you can spend more than one day on a “lesson” if needed. Writing center pages are included for no-prep transcription practice during your literacy centers.
• This curriculum is based on research and best practice. It was developed by a team of master teachers who hold graduate degrees in literacy. This curriculum works seamlessly with your Science of Reading instruction.
