1. Writing Continuums: These writing continuums were developed by a team of elementary teachers, intervention specialists and special education teachers by compiling expectations from the common core standards, GLCES and writing research. The purpose is to allow teachers to identify their student's strengths and areas that need additional instruction or interventions. The continuums were developed in the areas of content and ideas, organization, style and voice and conventions.

2. Writing Strategies:

These interventions were pulled from various sources (each strategy is cited at the bottom) and should be used in addition to Tier 1 instruction. There are strategies for content and ideas, conventions and organization. Apendices can be found in the Appendix section below each set of interventions. Data should be collected to determine if the intervention is improving student performance. For more information on best practices in interventions please see the Response to Intervention tab to the right.
