What is the Writing Revolution?

Literacy is both reading and writing proficiency. Just like reading instruction, writing instruction must be explicit and research-based to be effective.

The Writing Revolution is an educational non-profit organization that empowers teachers and administrators with the training and tools needed to deliver effective writing instruction in every grade and every subject area.

Our school has begun implementing things learned and we have seen a difference already with a new focus on writing!

Randi H, Arizona

The strategies are so simple and easy to implement! This should make even the most hesitant or untrained teachers feel empowered to teach writing.

Andress S, Arkansas

I learned every session. AND I could easily implement what I was learning THE NEXT DAY. AND I saw immediate changes with the students. I loved it. Have recommended it strongly to my colleagues. I wish our school would train everybody.
