Connecting the Strands: Improving Reading Scores Using The Writing Rope Framework

Complete Attendance not available before workshop starts.

Connecting the Strands challenges the idea that improving STAAR revising and editing scores lies in more test practice. Instead, this session explores how strengthening the foundational strands of writing: syntax, text structure, critical thinking, and writing craft begins with explicit instruction. Grounded in The Writing Rope, participants will examine the underlying skills assessed in STAAR's revising and editing multiple-choice questions and learn practical, high-impact instructional routines that can be embedded into daily instruction. Teachers will leave with a deeper understanding of the need for explicit foundational strand-based instruction, how to intentionally connect and build upon the strands, and what they can do tomorrow to develop stronger writers while improving STAAR outcomes.

K–12 classroom teachers, interventionists, instructional coaches, and content-area teachers
