Why It Works

Built on the science of writing. Proven in real classrooms.

Most writing curricula tell students what to write, but never teach them how. Simplify Writing® was built around research-backed strategies, then independently studied for impact.

Johns Hopkins Independent Case Study

Simplify Writing® was independently studied by researchers at the Johns Hopkins University School of Education. Read the full case study to see their findings.

"I love this program so much because it is so comprehensive and provides both me and my students with everything we need to be successful. It helps me become a better writing teacher through the trainings that are provided, the lesson plans, and the organized standards. The past two years I have seen more student growth than I thought possible. Students who enter the year dreading writing, leave with so much confidence, skill, and a new appreciation for writing. It is amazing to see the growth, and to see how writing is a skill that everyone can master, not just the kids who enter the year already loving to write."

What Teachers are Saying

Simplify Writing® works — 

in every learning environment.

Public School

"As a middle school special education teacher that has students with varying ability levels when it comes to writing, I love how the program breaks down everything into manageable pieces for my students. My students do not groan when it's time for writing instruction. We are currently finishing up our Explanatory writing pieces and I have been so impressed with the ideas my students have come up with."

Megan Brown


Special Educator, Middle School

Private School

"We've tried a lot of writing programs. Simplify Writing is the first one that our entire faculty felt excited about teaching. Our students' attitude towards writing has improved dramatically."

Rachel Chen

Curriculum Director, Private K–8 School

Homeschool

"The clear instructions and engaging materials immediately captured my kids' interest, empowering them to take ownership of their learning and dive into writing with enthusiasm. While there was a brief adjustment period as they acclimated to the new setup, the results were evident almost immediately. Within a short time, my kids demonstrated improved writing skills, increased confidence, and a newfound enjoyment of the writing process."
