The Riverside (CA) County Office of Education has developed a blueprint for writing for each of the grades 1-6 that matches what is taught in the Houghton Mifflin reading series. It is quite comprehensive. Many schools in our district are using it. The blueprint costs about $60/grade. The teachers at our school think it is good. They prefer it over the 4-square.

My teacher cohort is going to be looking for a writing curriculum/program/philosophy that we can use with sequential integrity and passion. Right now I have found that trait based writing makes a lot of sense for my third graders mixed in with other resources and approaches. We want to have consistency K-5 that will support successful writing skills through middle school and beyond. What are your suggestions? What programs would you recommend exploring in our curriculum travels?
