Links with the curriculum
Writing challenges are not the exclusive domain of struggling students. Students, including those who are typically developing, do not automatically become great writers. Building a good (or great) writer is the culmination of explicit instruction and practice. This process includes providing tools and structures to support the emergent writer. Both a launch pad (to engender enthusiasm for the writing process) and a safety net (to help scaffold and support the writing process) are needed.
Requirements
All documents required to start using Tell Me! are available in an electronic file on a USB stick or in an electronic file that you can download from https://c4lstore.com/
