Are you tired of asking older students to write a paragraph—only to get a jumble of loosely connected ideas?
Do your Year 1–2 learners write strings of words with no punctuation, and you're unsure where to start?
Have you tried to use The Writing Revolution or other structured writing strategies, but found it hard to apply in your context?
Do you feel like you're constantly prompting, reteaching, and reminding—yet students still struggle to get their ideas down clearly?
Are you juggling too many different needs in one classroom, with no clear pathway for helping all students improve?
Have you spent hours searching for writing resources that actually support progress across year levels—and still come up short?
Imagine if you had a clear, step-by-step approach for teaching writing—starting from simple sentences and building up to well-structured paragraphs.
Imagine if your students, from Year 0 to Year 8 and beyond, could express themselves confidently, write with purpose, and understand what good writing looks like and sounds like.
That’s why we created our 6-week online writing course.
We take the research and turn it into practical classroom strategies that work—whether you're supporting emergent writers or helping more experienced students refine their writing craft.
This course helps teachers make writing visible, manageable, and achievable—for every learner, in every year level.
It’s time to stop feeling stuck and start seeing progress.
Let us help you bring clarity, structure, and confidence to your writing programme.
What we do
At Literacy Connections, we support teachers to build stronger, more confident writers through explicit, structured instruction.
We design practical, research-informed professional learning that makes the complexity of writing teachable—starting with the sentence and building from there. Our work is grounded in the principles of structured literacy and tailored for the realities of New Zealand classrooms.
