Tags

Achieve3000 Literacy provides students with many opportunities to write. In addition to the 5-Step Literacy Routine, the program includes a Writing Center with a wealth of resources to help students perfect their writing skills.

 

  • Writing Process Topics - Topics are available for specific organizational strategies (e.g., cause and effect, sequence of events, compare & contrast). Students will see a writing prompt and then read a related Article. They also have access to appropriate graphic organizers. They then craft a response through the Writing Process that includes Read, Prewrite, Draft, Revise/Edit steps.
  • Timed Writing Assignments - These are designed to give students practice with timed writing, which is often required for state exams. The prompts are designed to imitate a testing environment and the activities include a timer so students can learn to pace themselves when writing. 
  • Revising and Editing Assignments - These multiple-choice activities give students an opportunity to practice error identification and error correction. 
  • Mechanics - These online mini-lessons cover basic grammar, writing mechanics, and process writing skills in a fun, engaging manner. 
  • Printable Graphic Organizers - These help students organize their writing across the curriculum. 

 

Students can access the Writing Center at any time and select from a list of prompts to complete. Teachers can also assign these to students for completion.
