A complete 23-week writing curriculum for kindergarten. 5 units. 115 daily lessons. Designed to start once letters and sounds have been taught — not mastered.
"My district's writing curriculum said 'Students will draw a picture to tell their story. You can dictate for them.' For the entire year."
That's what most kindergarten teachers are handed. Generic programs written by people who haven't been in a K classroom in years. The Kindergarten Writing Code was written inside one.
Each unit builds on the last. Students progress through a clear scope and sequence — not random weekly themes. Designed to be implemented once letters and sounds have been introduced.
Build confidence through illustration. Kids become storytellers before they become spellers.
Layer in letter formation and beginning sounds. Connecting illustrations to letters on the page.
From labels to full sentences. Introducing Heart Words and phonetic spelling strategies.
Genre-based instruction. Students write with purpose across different text types.
Students choose topics, draft, edit, and publish their own writing. The capstone of the year.
A predictable 5-day arc so teachers know exactly what they're doing and kids know exactly what to expect.
Model the skill with explicit instruction and think-alouds
Guided practice with teacher support and immediate feedback
Independent writing with differentiated scaffolding at 3 levels
Peer review, self-editing, and revision using kid-friendly checklists
Check for Understanding (CFU) with built-in rubrics and progress tracking
This isn't a worksheet pack or a TPT bundle. It's a structured program with fully scripted lessons and zero-prep materials.
Fully scripted teacher language for every lesson. Open the page and teach. No planning required.
Built-in formative assessments at the end of each week so you always know where students are.
Mid-unit checks and end-of-unit assessments with clear, standards-aligned rubrics designed for five-year-olds.
Know exactly where you should be, week by week. Flexible enough to adjust without losing the arc.
Print-ready practice pages for every lesson. Differentiated at three levels: Emerging, Developing, and Confident.
Every lesson tagged to K.L. standards. Ready for your admin walkthrough or IEP documentation.
Every lesson and workbook sheet includes scaffolding for three levels of writers. Meet every kid where they are without creating three separate lesson plans.
Maximum scaffolding. Picture prompts, traceable letters, sentence starters, and hand-over-hand support guidance.
Partial scaffolds. Word banks, beginning sound cues, and models to reference while writing independently.
Extension challenges. Open-ended prompts, peer editing, and multi-sentence writing for students ready to fly.
The Kindergarten Writing Code uses "The Big 3" framework and Heart Words methodology with phonetic irregularity callouts. It meets kindergartners exactly where they are, then moves them forward.
Build confidence through drawing before writing. Kids become storytellers before they become spellers.
Systematic introduction of letter formation, Heart Words, and invented spelling tied to phonics instruction.
By spring, students are writing complete sentences with openings, details, and closings across multiple genres.
