This jam-packed resource is exactly what you need to create a structured, student-led writer's workshop that will leave your students writing volumes and loving every minute of it!

>>This set includes ONE FULL YEAR of 7th Grade warm-ups!<< Need 6th grade? Go HERE.

Learn how to motivate your writers and help them take ownership of their writing journey. No fluff here... these are practical resources that move the needle. As a children's book author with HarperCollins and Disney Hyperion, I've taken the lessons I've learned from my professional editors and distilled them down in a way that teachers can now share them with their students.

It's time to create writers, not products.

This bundle includes a 10-video PD writing training (5 hours!) plus a comprehensive 70+ page e-book that takes you through the exact steps of setting up a structured student-led workshop.

The results? Phenomenal! (Look for state test results below.)

The very first lesson of the year focuses on Voice, and I've got you covered with all the decor, games, warm-ups, and slides you need to help your students find their unique voice as writers. I believe that every student has something special to say, and this resource will empower them to express themselves with confidence.

Inside the e-book and training, I dive deep into the Three Streets of Writer's Workshop: Genre Street, Rant & Rave Road, and Spinner & Dare Drive. I provide you with all the spinners and dares you need to launch these strategies.

Your students will be engaged, inspired, and motivated to explore different writing genres, share their thoughts and opinions, and take creative risks.

The digital student guides are complete lessons that use the gradual release model to walk students through essential writing concepts. From Voice and Hooks (Expository & Narrative) to Sentence Structure & Complexity, Figurative Language, Vivid Imagery & Word Choice, and Show, Don't Tell—these guides are your secret weapon for building strong, confident writers.

Once your students have honed their skills, it's time to tackle essays. Head over to my YouTube channel, "The Structured Writing Teacher," and discover an innovative hands-on essay dissection method. I'll show you how to leverage your workshop time to provide the direct instruction needed for constructed responses. It's a game-changer!

And I understand that creating an inspiring and organized writing environment is crucial. That's why I've included resources for classroom decor and writing centers.

Here's how this bundle will transform your writing instruction:

✅ The student guides are complete lessons that follow the gradual release model, empowering students to become independent writers.

✅ Say goodbye to scrambling for graphics and worksheets— all the hard work is done for you. No more hobbled-together lessons!

✅ This bundle includes over THIRTY resources for Writer's Workshop, ensuring you have everything you need to create an engaging and effective writing program.

Here's what teachers are saying about the Structured Writer's Workshop and Digital Student Guides:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I've noticed an excitement toward writing that I've never seen before!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can't say enough how amazing this writing instruction is. It's lit a new fire under me!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I am completely ENTHRALLED with your approach. I love that it allows for both method and creativity. Your lessons that I have applied have elicited hearty enthusiasm even from the most reluctant of my writers. It is SO gratifying! Thank you for the wealth of wisdom. Praying we uncover one of the future greats in one of our classrooms!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great resource - I used it with non-native English speaking students whose writing can often be very mechanical and formulaic. This resource really helped them develop their writing voices!

And check out these test results from Carole, a 5th grade teacher in Salt Lake City:

"My end-of-year writing results are in and my students' growth was beyond expectations! As a whole my students grew from an average of 6/10 to 8/10. Three of my students scored 9/10 and one was the only fifth grade student in the entire district known to have scored 10/10. Even many of the lower-scoring students grew 3-4 points from their beginning-of-year scores!"
