A universal design for writing instruction

Too many students struggle with writing. They can’t get started. They don’t write much, or their ideas are disorganized, disjointed, or underdeveloped. EmPOWER gives teachers across all grades and all content areas a common language for guiding students through any writing assignment. Infuse your curriculum with a method for teaching the writing process explicitly.

Address reading breakdowns at the sentence level

Students who struggle with reading comprehension often have trouble understanding sentences. They forget words before they can use them to make meaning. Unlocking Sentences teaches students multi-word chunks and their functions in sentences. Then they can unlock the meaning of any sentence they read. Learn a revolutionary approach to teaching sentence-level reading comprehension.
