WIDA Alignment Charts
Empowering Writers supports the language development of multilingual learners by intentionally connecting WIDA’s Key Language Uses from the Standards Framework (Narrate, Inform, Explain, and Argue) to explicit writing instruction and targeted lessons across the resource.
Through modeled writing, structured oral language opportunities, sentence-level support, and scaffolded academic conversations, students build the language skills needed to communicate ideas clearly and confidently. This alignment provides helpful examples of how teachers can integrate language development with writing instruction while providing multilingual learners with meaningful access to grade-level expectations.
