Wit and Wisdom Supplies to Improve ELA Skills

Help me give my students the materials they need for our new ELA curriculum, Wit and Wisdom, which requires individual journals that they will continually add material to, as well as a place to store their journals.

My Project

In response to chronically low scores and abilities in all areas of English Language Arts, our school district has adopted a new ELA curriculum called Wit and Wisdom. Wit and Wisdom shows very encouraging results in increasing students' reading comprehension, writing abilities, a love for reading, and being able to apply these skills in other subjects and areas of their lives.

Our children are struggling in all areas of English Language Arts!

Please help my students break this trend and give them the foundation needed to be successful in their lives. A major foundation of the Wit and Wisdom curriculum is each student keeping an interactive journal that requires being able to add papers to it over the span of several months for each unit. We need binders, paper, dividers, and a cube storage organizer.

Wit and Wisdom is a very thorough and rigorous curriculum that focuses on deep studies in rich literature to engage students and help them to understand what they are reading and apply it to all aspects in their lives. In just the first month of teaching Wit and Wisdom to my students, I'm astounded at how all of my students are so engaged and enjoying what we are learning. Even my very reluctant learners eagerly participate and are already able to apply these new concepts they are learning.
