This product follows many of the strategies found in Lucy Calkins Writing Programs (Teachers College) but can be used for any and all writing programs.

This downloadable PDF includes:

✅  12 information writing strategy cards that teach the following information writing skills:

– overall structure of writing (I taught my readers about a topic)

– leads/beginnings (I named my topic and the beginning and got my reader's attention)

– transitions (I told different parts about my topic on different pages)

– organization (I told about my topic part by part)

– endings (I wrote an ending)

– elaboration/details (I put facts in my writing)

– craft (I used labels and words)

– spelling (I use words and chunks of words, spell word wall words correctly, use the word wall to help me spell words when I get stuck)

– punctuation (I end sentences with punctuation, use capital letter for important names, use commas in important dates and making lists)

1) ) I recommend printing all strategy cards on heavy cardstock.

2) After you print out the cards, I recommend laminating them so they last longer.
