UNDERSTANDING CONCEPTS
So what are we doing differently?
• We are spending more time reading and
teaching students to navigate non-fiction text.
• Teachers are integrating reading and
writing. Students will write while they
read and respond in writing to what they read.
• Teachers district-wide will teach the same type of writing and the same type of reading at the same time.
The MCSD implemented a new writing sequence this
school year!
. Why did the MCSD create a writing sequence?• The writing sequence gives teachers a guideline for using
the Florida standards in practical ways. • The sequence breaks down and presents the standards to
students clearly, as what they need to know, understand, and do.
What types of writing will you be teaching?
Students will learn how to write narrative, informational/ explanatory and opinion/ argumentative writing in grades K-12.
Three Types Of Writing
What are learning goals and scales, and why are they included
in the writing sequence? Learning goals and scales provides a continuum of learning targets so that students can self-monitor their level of mastery. Learning goals and scales help students keep track of their own learning.
During a lesson or series of lessons, teachers check for understanding by asking students to rate themselves on the scale. This is a high impact strategy that allows teachers to know who needs additional help, additional practice and who would benefit from enrichment.

Learning Goal & Scale Example
What Does The Writing Sequence Calendar Look Like?
Narrative Writing- August/ September
Informational Writing- October/ November/ December
Opinion/ Argumentative Writing- January/ February/ March/ April
Narrative Writing- May/ June Why does my child have to
learn the same three
types of writing year after year?
As students grow, so do the standards in each type of writing. The sequence clearly shows teachers how the standards build upon one another through the years.This is valuable because it gives teachers a map of the learning, so they can strategically target individual student needs.
These are lessons that the teachers can use to teach writing.
They come from our reading series, our new Ready Writing curriculum, C-PALMS a Florida
educator’s exemplar lesson plan bank, research based writing workshop lessons and vetted
collaborative lessons. Teachers may select lessons based on the
need of their students.
What are the writing sequence
power lessons?
• Talk to your child about what they are writing in school.
• Talk to your child teacher about your child’s strengths
and weaknesses and ask how you can support
writing.
• While your child reads, give your child sticky notes
to jot down their thinking.
• Build a climate of words at home. Go places with your
child, then talk about what you observed, heard,
tasted, and touched. The foundation of good writing is good talk.
• Have your child cut a picture from a magazine and write a story about it.
• Have your child keep a list of their favorite words, favorite expressions
and tricky words
How Can I Help My Child At Home?
Take a photo and encourage your child to explain in writing what was
happening .
When thank-you notes are in order, have your child write them.
Let your children see you write often.
Don’t stress so much about handwriting and spelling in student writing.
Students will be less likely to write if they are worried about being
picked apart. Only final published writing pieces need to have perfect
spelling.
Your most effective role is not as a critic, but as a helper. Rejoice in
effort, delight in ideas, and resist the temptation to be critical.
