Writing Nonfiction 3–8


HQT™ Delivers the Professional Support to Teach Nonfiction Writing

Your Professional Dilemma: National standards, as well as the Pennsylvania Academic Standards, have set the expectation that students in intermediate and middle grades should know how to write a variety of expository forms across the curriculum.

Writing Nonfiction 3–8 helps teachers prepare students for an increasing amount of nonfiction writing in the classroom and on the PSSA by including nonfiction writing instruction in their daily classroom practice.

Each package contains:
