The Five Types of Writing Framework

The Five Types of Writing framework draws on the ever-growing body of research on the power of frequent writing, on how frequent quizzing promotes learning, on setting strategic writing goals, and on giving predictable feedback to students. It reflects a wide-ranging and thoughtful approach for both teaching writing and using writing.

Teachers can use the different types of writing strategically to ensure that students have frequent and varied opportunities to "think on paper" and make clear what is expected in each task. The Five Types of Writing framework also provides a grade-level team or an entire school with common language for describing writing tasks. That means a consistent approach not only for typical learners, but also for at-risk, special needs, ELL, and gifted students.
