UNITS OF STUDY IN WRITING
"Once we know the stories of their lives,
these youngsters begin to affect us and our teaching.
We cannot avoid seeing them among the sea of children.
When faces and lives and stories emerge,
our teaching is forever different."
-Lucy Calkins

The Units of Study are a series of books designed to support educators in teaching a rigorous yearlong writing curriculum.
This curriculum is an effort to hand over what research has found to be effective and lasting in teaching writing.
Children can be given the opportunities they deserve to grow strong as writers and to approach their schooling
as makers of knowledge and composers of meaning.
FPS teachers please see curriculum planner for support materials.
