Resources for Teaching the
New Standards in Writing
One strength of this writing program lies in
its uniformity of content and presentation from style to style
and from grade to grade. Because of this uniform approach,
the samples below give a sense of what you can expect from each
grade level and in each writing style, even those not
included here.
