The challenge
Getting students to write more — and better — is one of the biggest challenges schools face.
01
Teachers lack the capacity
Many teachers haven't been equipped to teach writing, so it gets relegated to the back burner.
02
Feedback rarely happens
Even teachers who assign writing seldom review and grade it — and students miss the feedback that builds their skills.
03
Students resent writing
Isolated worksheets don't build skills progressively or spark interest, so students struggle — and stop trying.
Two ways we help
Build the skills all year. Celebrate them with a published booklet.
Use either program on its own, or pair them: the curriculum develops students' skills week by week, and a writing project gives them a real audience.

Write It Right curriculum
A writing program teachers can actually run.
Approachable, engaging, stand-alone exercises that progress systematically — with the guidance, scaffolding, and support students need to write clearly and effectively. It isn't tied to any other curriculum, so it fits into your schedule as it is.
Using graphic organizers and worked samples, students learn to write five-paragraph persuasive essays, poetry, formal letters, letters of recommendation, advertisements, thank-you notes, and much more.
All content is written for yeshivos and day schools, so there's nothing to censor or adapt.
How students progress
Grade 1: copying and basic sentence creation, at a gentler pace while letter formation develops.
Early levels: single-paragraph writing across all four styles.
Upper levels: multi-paragraph essays, poetry, letters, and real-world formats.

Impactful Writing Projects
From blank page to a booklet families keep.
Projects strengthen students' writing, build pride in their work, take the writing process off teachers' shoulders, and generate positive PR for the principal and program.
Before your program, we offered limited writing instruction, using isolated worksheets that did not progressively develop student skills or generate much interest in the subject. Now, our students are writing more than ever, and we can see significant progress in their skill development each year.
“Write It Right is a great resource for yeshivos and chadarim. I found myself spending so much time trying to censor or recreate the mainstream workbooks… Dr. Hoff has done the hard work for you, and created a systematic, easy approach to teaching writing skills.”
“My students loved using Write It Right and looked forward to the days we used it. I was impressed with how the book provided multiple pages for each skill, but done differently so that the students weren't just doing the same exact thing over and over.”
Budget shouldn't stand in the way.
We're an approved vendor in many communities throughout the US, including NYC, and we'll happily work with you to access funding for these programs.
