What writing skills do our youngest writers need to know?
If you teach writing to kindergarten, first, or second graders, you know how difficult it can be to know exactly what to teach.
In fact, many readers have asked me for a complete scope and sequence.
This video will help you out!
Watch it for an overview of what K-2 writers need to learn with respect to
- engagement
- composing with pictures
- finding ideas
- word choice
- using details
- focus & organization
- the writing process
- conventions
- spelling
We hope this video was helpful, and we look forward to sharing the full course this fall!

Thank you.
This looks great! Looking forward to October!
I enjoyed the “sneak peek” and eagerly await your workshop in October!
This is the first blog post I’ve read this summer & I’m so glad I did! Writing is an area I want to improve in as a teacher this year & I’m looking forward to the full series in October! Meanwhile, thank you for the printable & for all of the resources you make available!
Thank you for this sneak peek! I responded to your survey last spring, and have been anxious to see your follow-up plans. I am currently working my way through Teach Every Reader, and it’s truly been the best practical learning I have ever experienced! With all that I am learning, I feel well-equipped to completely revamp my reading instruction this fall. I fully expect the same will happen when I take this upcoming course! Thank you for all of your hard work.
This is so wonderful to hear, Dani! :)) We can’t wait to share our second course!
I live the “I-Spy Picture Mats”! Will they be available for purchase?

Dear Anna,
I can’t wait to learn about your writing course in Oct. I’m glad I stucked around.
Thanks so much!
Regards,
Ivy
I am so glad and grateful for the 12 weeks of vlogs and resources because I can get started when we start back to school on August 12th. When I taught middle school, writing was my forte, but as a first grade teacher, I have not figured it out in 12 years! ? So, I am very excited and thankful to have your excellent step by step guidance and resources to depend on. THIS year, the hallway cork strip outside MY classroom will be worth a visit. I’ll have to set up a wee coffee shop there. ?
Yippee! Can’t wait!
Yay!! It’s going to be fantastic, Barbara! We hope you’re able to join us for the full course – it will have everything you need!
Really helpful. Thank you.
well, just not “my day” ……. #8 didn’t submit or download … so I tried #1 ….. failed that one too. Is there a full moon tonite?
Hi Anna, thanks for sneak peek. I am parent of 2 nd grader and English is my second language, I have so hard time teaching writing to my son. Please can you advice how do I teach my son writing because he reading level is L which is benchmark of 3 grader.
Hi Rinzin! My best advice is in this 10-part video series. I would watch all the parts and then follow up with the questions you still have. 🙂
