Hello, Elementary Writing teachers!

  • I’m a second-grade elementary teacher from California.
  • Throughout my 30 years of teaching, I’ve spent countless hours fine-tuning my writing lessons.
  • One thing for sure, I love sharing my lessons with other educators.
  • I’ve developed a step-by-step routine for supporting young writers while saving you valuable planning time.
  • That’s why I have put together The Writing Club.

I know what it’s like to…

teach struggling, unmotivated and reluctant writers with very little time to teach all the standards.

I would spend countless hours planning my writing lessons to have students produce a series of rambling sentences.

My well-intended lessons wouldn’t “stick” and carry over to other subject matters.

Most writing lessons consistently took longer than I had to offer.

Sadly to say, my writing lessons lacked an overall plan and structure.

It's not your fault we have so many writing standards to teach.

Current practice skims through an abundance of writing skills.

The student growth is at a snail’s pace and discouraging to all.

I can change that!

I can help you scaffold your writing instruction with motivating resources.

If you're anything like me, you want...

  • More Time for Teaching Writing Skills
  • Motivated Writers
  • Improved Writing Abilities

That’s why I created the Structured Paragraph Writing Handbook and Printable!

To help you get strong, confident writers who succeed.

Writing support is on it's way.

It’s time to stop teaching the surface layers without a plan.

The secret to better writing scores is providing a step-by-step structure of support.
