Write Traits® Classroom Kits provide everything a teacher needs to help students learn, understand, and apply the six traits* of effective writing:

  • Idea Development
  • Organization
  • Voice
  • Word Choice
  • Sentence Fluency
  • Conventions

Each unit includes trait-specific lessons, age-appropriate student and professional models, and detailed assessment rubrics that provide teachers and students with a clear process and common language for discussing and evaluating writing. Interactive and hands-on, Write Traits® Classroom Kits empower students with the guidelines they need to recognize the elements of good writing and incorporate these traits into their own writing and revising process.
