A K-12 Writing Program Is
Critical to Student Success
• “Writing can and should be taught, not just
assigned at every grade level” (Time to Act,
2010, p. 25).
• “Effective writing instruction also involves
students in daily writing, a wide range of
composing tasks, a predictable routine that
encourages reflection and revision, and
teacher modeling of writing as a process
and use of writing strategies” (Time to Act,
2010, p. 78).
21
“Excellent instruction in writing not only
emphasizes correctness of forms and
conventions, but also instills in writers
the command of a wide variety of forms,
genres, styles, and tones, and the ability
to adapt to different contexts and
purposes” (Writing Next, 2007, p 22).

Writing Practices That
Enhance Students’ Reading
• Have students write about the texts they
read.
• Teach students the writing skills and
processes that go into creating text.
• Increase how much students write.

Writing and College and Career
Readiness
Compose a variety of texts that
demonstrate clear focus, the logical
development of ideas in well-organized
paragraphs, and the use of appropriate
language that advances the author’s
purpose.
