All Write from Thoughtful Learning helps middle school students catch up and move ahead, whether filling gaps before high school or teaching an ESL/ELL learner. The course assumes the student has had little instruction in the writing process and forms of writing. The course teaches foundational concepts using simplified language, making it user-friendly for all learners. It also provides clear guidelines, models, checklists, illustrations, and tips. The All Write Student Handbook is used in grades 6-8 and includes units and lessons that build from basic to more advanced throughout the year. In addition, the free Digital Teacher Guide provides a weekly schedule, activity worksheets and handouts, guidelines for writing assessments, and more; it also incorporates practice from the All Write SkillsBook (Teacher Answer Key sold separately). For students needing more practice, the Digital Teacher Guide includes suggestions from the Write on Course 20-20 SkillsBooks for Grade 6, Grade 7, and Grade 8. SkillsBooks are an optional add-on that teach punctuation, grammar, mechanics, usage, and spelling. Sold separately, the grade-level Teacher Guides contain answers only. We also offer an All Write Package that contains the All Write Student Handbook, SkillsBook, and SkillsBook Teacher Guide (answers only).
