A Reading and Writing Plan is an outline that is built from the requirements in a writing prompt or task. The Reading and Writing Plan helps students keep track of all aspects of a prompt and provides a space for students to develop their ideas. Students can use the Reading and Writing plan to outline text-based and free response writing tasks.
A Reading and Writing Plan can also help students think about the types of reading skills they will need to use when responding to a text-dependent prompt. For each requirement in the text-dependent prompt, students have an opportunity to think about the reading skills they will need to use to successfully answer and respond to each part of the prompt.

Literacy Standards In Action
We've mapped our literacy lessons and reading, speaking, and writing skills to state standards, Common Core, and NGSS. The standards are "the what" to teach. Our lessons are "the how" to meet the expectations defined by the standards. Click on the links below to view our quick reference table that maps standards to literacy lessons.
