Our NEW SOLO Writing Coach intervention resource incorporates all 11 of the key writing elements (PDF, 88 KB) described in the Writing Next report when used in conjunction with the SOLO Literacy Suite.

Although we have provided an off-line Lesson Sheet, the real power of the SOLO Writing Coach lies in the use of the SOLO Literacy Suite, which allows you to individually increase or decrease learning scaffolds to meet the diverse needs of your struggling learners or differentiated classroom.
