Tiered instruction for our neediest writers!
There’s no shortage of books on how to set up and run a writing workshop. But where’s the book on teaching our students who struggle most or just aren’t engaged? And where does RTI fit in?
Lisa Morris provides the answers in this practical resource on implementing tiered writing instruction in Grades 2–6. With strategies for each RTI tier, this how-to guide will help you
- Easily incorporate RTI within the writer’s workshop framework
- Nurture confident writers with well-crafted, differentiated lessons
- Plan daily, weekly, and year-long lessons with low-stress diagnostic, formative, and summative assessments

Add to that rich classroom examples, student samples, reproducible charts, and in-depth instructional guidance, making this is your ultimate RTI writing guide.
Lisa Morris is an elementary school teacher and teacher trainer for the Okaloosa County School District in Fort Walton Beach, FL. While researching for this book, Lisa kept four goals in mind: 1) focus on research-based differentiated instruction and strategies, 2) look closely at formative and summative assessments as well as curriculum-based measurements, 3) show how student assessment drives instruction, and 4) hold true to the foundations of the writer’s workshop.
