I know it's frustrating because I've been there too.
When I first started teaching ELA to upper elementary students I was so lost. Our school district gave us very little materials to teach writing and I was always stressed out and felt like my students needed more structure. I needed a solid plan with lessons for each genre and a way to assess my students too!
That is what I have created for you!

Hello,
My name is Bridget Spackman
When I transitioned from teaching kindergarten to 4th grade, I had no idea where to start. I had a hodgepodge of a literacy block, and I was run down and depressed. When I started making small changes to simplify my literacy block and I took control of truly learning about my standards, I started to find my groove. Not only that, but my students thrived! I've spent years uncovering the simplicity of teaching reading and writing and I cannot wait to share all my secrets with you! Join The Writing Bridge today!
