My Students

One of the areas our students struggle in is writing. As a school, we are using strategies to help our students become better writers.

The students at our school are willing to learn and have a great enthusiasm for reading.

Through the writing fix program, we will be able to reach those students who are struggling with writing. Having the materials to reach our students is our biggest hurdle.

My Project

Having the writing fix picture books available for teachers to use in the classroom will help this program grow. These picture books are used as prompts for writing traits in many classrooms and are helping our students to become better writers. Our hope is this will put our students on the path to a college education.

Writing fix is a wonderful program that helps students become better writers through picture books.

These books will support this program in our school. Writing is an important part of our testing and this program can help our students make growth in this area.
