13 The Effect of Grammar Instruction as an Independent Activity Grammar instruction in the studies reviewed [for the Writing Next report] involved the explicit and systematic teaching of the parts of speech and structure of sentences. The meta-analysis found an effect for this type of instruction for students across the full range of ability, but surprisingly, i this effect was negative Such findings raise serious questions about some educators enthusiasm for traditional grammar instruction as a focus of writing instruction for adolescents.overall, the findings on grammar instruction suggest that, although teaching ggrammar is important, alternative procedures, such as sentence combining, are more effective than traditional approaches for improving the quality of students writing. p. 21 Source: Graham, S., & Perin, D.

32 Writing Interventions Focus of Inquiry: How can our school find intervention programs or ideas to address writing delays? 32
33 Cognitive Strategy Instruction / This website contains a series of cognitive strategies for writing (and other academic areas) that students can be taught to use on their own.
34 FreeReading This open source website includes free lesson plans that target writing instruction and intervention.
35 What Works Clearinghouse This website reviews core instruction and intervention programs in reading/writing, as well as other academic areas. The site reviews existing studies and draws conclusions about whether specific intervention programs show evidence of effectiveness.
36 Best Evidence Encyclopedia This site provides reviews of evidence-based reading and math programs. The website is sponsored by the Johns Hopkins University School of Education's Center for Data-Driven Reform in Education (CDDRE).
37 National Center on RTI Instructional Intervention Tools Chart instructiontools Sponsored by the National Center on RTI, this page provides ratings to intervention programs in reading, math, and writing. Users can streamline their search by subject and grade level.

40 CBM Writing: Group-Administered Probe One RTI-compliant progress-monitoring tool that can be used to track the mechanics and conventions of writing is Curriculum-Based Measurement (CBM) Writing. CBM Writing can be administered to groups of students. The student is given a story starter (story stem) and asked to think for one minute about a story he or she would like to write. The student is then given 3 minutes to produce a writing sample. The CBM Writing probe is then scored for total words written, correctly spelled words, or correct writing sequences. 40
