The Student Worktext

When it comes to providing curriculum for learners, Short, Short, BIG! adheres to the three truisms of working with modern-day students:

  1. If you win the heart, the mind will follow.

  2. A learner must believe they can succeed with the work.

  3. Clarity is critical for student success.


Short, Short, BIG! meets students where they are to help them master the fundamentals of writing. This research-proven pathway builds their core skills, and then builds upon those further in an articulated, scaffolding scope and sequence.

No more writing the same comments over and over. Support your learners as they develop the automaticity of writing.
