Write to learn

There is no official partnership between Brandon Park Primary / Nathaniel Swain and The Writing Revolution® by Judith C. Hochman and Natalie Wexler. THE HOCHMAN METHOD®, THE WRITING REVOLUTION®, and ADVANCING THINKING THROUGH WRITING® are registered trademarks of The Writing Revolution, Inc. The materials in Write2Learn are created as classroom materials to accompany The Writing Revolution®’s methodology and progression of writing skills.

An initiative of teachers at Brandon Park Primary School, Write to Learn (w2L) is a set of curriculum materials for the teaching of writing. It is inspired by methodologies recommended by The Writing Revolution® within an Australian curriculum context, and combines this with teaching approaches from Explicit Instruction.

Write 2 Learn has been compiled by teachers at Brandon Park Primary school, and represents a work in progress for best practice writing instruction aligned to principles from The Writing Revolution®, and a Knowledge Rich Curriculum. We want more schools to implement best practices in Writing Instruction, and we hope these materials support such changes.

Note to schools

The Writing Revolution® offers comprehensive training for Australian Schools, and Hochman and Wexler’s book is a must purchase for any teacher.

There are additional syntax and grammar materials available through the incredible Syntax Project, facilitated by Stephanie Le Lievre from Serpentine Primary School (WA).
