Thirteen curriculum strands that together constitute a framework for competent writing are detailed in this writing program guide. Each strand discussed begins with a statement of the expected learning outcome called a "program goal" and is further organized in a kindergarten through grade 12 sequence with objectives listed for each grade level. Where appropriate, models are provided for objectives. Writing goals are also correlated with units in the Economy Company "Expressways" textbook series, including the teacher's resource book, duplicating masters, and activity book. Strands are provided for the following areas: complete sentence, sentence structure, paragraphing, format and appearance, purpose and form, proofreading, revision, reference materials, capitalization, punctuation, grammar, vocabulary, and spelling.
