Teaching writing is now even easier with everything you need to help students use the six traits—Ideas, Organisation, Voice, Word Choice, Sentence Fluency and Conventions—
to improve their writing!

Bring literature to life in your writing classroom! With six all-new mentor texts per grade and 24 time-saving lessons, Ruth Culham’s Trait Crate Plus kits expand and enrich the reading-and-writing experience. In addition to the valuable features and components of the original Trait Crates, these enhanced editions offer:

  • An emphasis on modes—Narrative, Informational and Opinion—to help you address higher standards
  • A companion website that provides access to dozens of downloadable pages for students, video interviews with children’s authors, and student-friendly scoring guides
  • Culham’s best-selling  The Writing Thief, that takes a deep dive into the theory and practice of using mentor texts to teach the craft of writing.

Using fiction and nonfiction children’s books as models, each Trait Crate Plus makes teaching writing engaging and relevant through lessons and activities that inspire complex literacy thinking and learning for every student.
