Everyday Writing with Coach Write

Everyday Writing with Coach Write

This series was developed to address everyday writing with children in grades K-6. Throughout the lessons, your students will join “Team Write” as Coach Write emphasizes the importance of writing and demonstrates how fun writing can be!

In this six-part collection, each lesson introduces students to the basics of a different writing concept through a four- to five-minute video featuring Coach Write. Each video is accompanied by a differentiated handout for students to complete after viewing the video.

This series is beneficial to use as an introduction to writing or as a supplemental resource to an already established curriculum. The lessons are “stand-alone” and can be instructed in any order.
