Why should I try Seven Steps?

Because almost daily, we hear from educators who are seeing incredible turnarounds in writing culture and results in their classrooms and schools, thanks to Seven Steps. From once-reluctant writers clamouring to share their work … and overwhelmed teachers with a newfound passion for teaching writing … to underachieving schools that have turned their NAPLAN writing data into gold. The Seven Steps approach works. And it can work for you, too.

How do I try it for free?

To help as many teachers as we can share the sheer joy of writing with their students, we’ve made Step 2: Sizzling Starts free.
It’s quick and easy to get started …

Why start with Step 2?

It might seem an odd place to start. But trust us, Step 2: Sizzling Starts is the perfect way to create those ‘aha!’ moments students need to actively engage in writing. Quick wins kick off those happy brain chemicals and kids just want to write more and more. The more they write, the better they get at it and the more they want to write … you get the picture.
