The Writing Rope: A Framework for Explicit Writing Instruction in All Subjects

I am a literacy specialist and am enjoying digging into this text. I can't wait to apply this in a classroom.

This book is a must buy

Every teacher that teaches writing MUST get this book! Excellent, explicit instructional strategies for students. Organized with systematic practice for students.

I'd give the content alone 5 stars, but the printing quality is disappointing. This is a book I'll keep and refer to often but the pages are so thin and I'm not sure they will hold up. Also the print is rather small and the font is hard to read. For a $40 book I expected higher quality printing.

Excellent resource

The adaptation of the reading rope into a writing rope is novel. The rest is nothing profound. Literally everything else is what you get from your education degree, writing curriculum and generally good teaching practices.If you're brand new and have 0 clue how to teach writing, buy the book. If you've been at it a while, it's not meant for you.

This book provides rationale, explanation and resources to support the updated Ontario Language curriculum (2023). The book covers scope of reading, sentence and syntax, vocabulary, forms of writing. Purchased this to further wrap my head around the updated curriculum since the ministry hasn’t added any teaching resources.Item came wrapped in plastic.Blackline masters are in book only. Website at back of book gives some templates, but not all for some reason.

I use this resource weekly in my writing planning. It is a consistent reference for planning for high quality teaching and impact for student learning.
