We pride ourselves on providing equitable access to high-quality educational materials for educators and students around the world, which is why we created our Teacher Grant Program. Designed with teachers that have a passion for reading and writing instruction in mind, this program acts as an opportunity for educators to win complimentary access to our new comprehensive solution for writing instruction, Writing A-Z. Fueled by the desire to help students thrive, the teachers that participated in this program were intrigued to see what Writing A-Z has to offer.

The Winners of This Year’s Teacher Grant Program
Many teachers applied for this year’s grant program and we couldn’t be more excited to announce the winners! Drumroll please….
This year’s winners are:
Randall Daddio, a resource teacher with Porter Ridge Elementary School in Indian Trail, NC
Upon winning this grant, I plan to…
“use Writing A-Z daily. I would use the lessons for small group lessons throughout the time my students are with me. I would then also assign independent practice activities so I could access student work as well as allow students to have meaningful work to complete while working with other small groups.”
Johnny Lopez, a resource teacher with Porter Ridge Elementary School in Indian Trail, NC
Upon winning this grant, I plan to..
“use Writing A-Z within my literacy centers to give students meaningful practice for their writing skills in an individualized way. Also, using the Pre and Post assessments will give me more information to guide my instruction. It would be a great experience to have students create their own book and experience the publishing process in class.”
Sade Parham, a K-5 instructional coach with Philadelphia City School District in Philadelphia, PA
Upon winning this grant, I plan to…
“integrate the use of this program 3-4 days a week. Students would love the writing instruction with this program.”
Mistelle Jewett, a K-5 Reading specialist with Philadelphia City School District in Philadelphia, PA
Upon winning this grant, I plan to…
“get teachers’ buy-in to implement this writing instruction. The teachers have been begging for instruction on how to teach writing.”
Congratulations to this year’s winners! We are excited to see what you achieve with Writing A-Z.
