Download a sample of the Units of Study in Writing, Grades K–2.

For 40 years, Lucy Calkins and her team at the Teachers College Reading and Writing Project have been learning from teachers and from children. By pairing intense work in classrooms with ongoing deep study of research, the authors have created a proven, scientifically-based literacy approach that gives ownership to students and fosters powerful communities of learning. The new Units of Study in Writing, K–2 provides a coherent, cumulative curriculum in writing that builds across kinds of writing and across grades.

In this sample you’ll read about workshop essentials: the time devoted to writing, the direct instruction techniques, the mentor texts, the responsive feedback from a teacher, the collaboration and feedback from peers, and the writing process that will become familiar to your students.
