Highlighted lessons provide a lesson sequence designed to support teachers in intentionally integrating writing instruction alongside their core reading program. This sequence identifies specific skills to be aware of when reading and responding. By calling attention to these focus areas, teachers can more intentionally model how authors use craft, structure, language, and conventions—and how students can transfer those same techniques into their own writing. 

Assessments (highlighted in orange) are embedded throughout the sequence to monitor student progress. The first assessment serves as a baseline, capturing students’ skill levels at the beginning of the school year. Subsequent assessments follow the explicit instruction of targeted skill areas and are designed to demonstrate measurable growth. These checkpoints provide teachers with actionable data to inform instruction, adjust pacing, and ensure that students are mastering specific response skills before moving forward.

Please refer to the Reading Aligned Writing Guide section for more details.

In the Reading Aligned Writing Guide there is a detailed explanation of the color-coding we use. In a snapshot:

Headings are bolded or italicized to clearly reference corresponding sections in the writing guide. Each heading signals the genre or instructional focus and is immediately followed by the aligned lessons from that section. This structure allows teachers to easily locate resources, maintain alignment with the writing framework, and deliver instruction in a logical, scaffolded progression.

Color coding further clarifies the instructional purpose of each lesson. Green lessons represent awareness instruction, building students’ understanding of key concepts and foundational skills. Blue lessons are generative, guiding students in producing and developing their own writing using the skills taught. Magenta lessons are response lessons, in which students apply their writing skills to reading-based tasks, strengthening their ability to analyze, explain, and support their thinking in connection to texts.
