The R.E.A.D. Writing Framework™ is a structured, repeatable process that helps students turn their ideas into clear, evidence-based writing. 

It's designed for grades 4-12 and removes the frustration of "I don't know what to write." With R.E.A.D., students always have a roadmap: they know how to respond, back it up with evidence, explain their thinking, and wrap it up with confidence.

Most writing problems come from not knowing where to start or how to organize ideas. R.E.A.D. fixes that by giving students a step-by-step formula that can be applied to any writing prompt: short answers, essays, or test questions.

• Simple but Powerful – Easy to learn, but works across all grade levels and subjects. 

• Evidence-Based – Emphasizes using text support, not just opinions. 

• Confidence-Building – Students no longer guess; they know exactly what to do. 

• Transferable – Helps in ELA, social studies, science, and even standardized test responses. 

When students begin with Reading Through Times™, we: 

• Start with a diagnostic writing prompt to see how they currently respond to text-based questions.

• Use modeled and guided writing practice with passages that connect to history and high-interest topics.

• Provide sentence starters, outlines, and scaffolds until students can confidently write independently.

• Track growth through writing samples every 4 weeks, with feedback and parent updates.

• Students who give short, incomplete answers.

• Students who skip evidence or don't know how to quote correctly.

• Students who write paragraphs that "go in circles" instead of staying on topic.

• Students who need strategies for timed writing on ELA exams, AP essays, or classroom prompts.
