Structured Steps to Writing

The graphic organizer sets

CAMPS for editing, SPARK+SORT for generating ideas. Three differentiated versions of each, every one with a visual anchor chart, so you can match the tool to where a student actually is.

Already buying SSW units? The graphic organizers are included in the units, so you do not need these sets as well. They are here for anyone who wants the tools on their own.

All prices are in US dollars (USD). Files are delivered through your account.

Who these suit

Tutors and resource teachers working 1:1 or in small groups, and homeschool families who want an explicit editing and brainstorming routine without committing to a full program.

The differentiated versions exist because students in the same group are rarely in the same place. A student who needs every step spelled out and a student ready to work independently can use the same tool at the same table.

These tools run through the whole program

CAMPS and SPARK+SORT are two of the four tools taught across Structured Steps to Writing. If you are considering the full sequence, start with the tiers.
