When my students took the state writing test for the first time, they scored higher than 50% of the national average.
That foundation is what I built into the Empowered Writing Curriculum.
A complete, step-by-step guide to teaching children foundational writing. Built over eleven years in a real fifth-grade classroom. Designed so that anyone can teach it, no education degree required.

You care about your kids writing, teaching it is another story.
You might be a teacher or homeschool educator who:
Doesn’t know where to begin
Feels overwhelmed with the curriculum and programs out there
Is nervous about teaching writing
Feels frustrated or bored with other curriculums
Doesn’t feel skilled as a writer yourself
You’re not alone. Most educators feel exactly like this. And most curriculums make it worse, not better.
Empowered Writing is different because anyone can teach it.
This is not a curriculum full of educational word soup, boring templates, or half-finished revision checklists. It is a step-by-step process that models every stage of writing, from brainstorming all the way through revision, so that children learn to think like writers, not just fill in blanks.
Build a writing foundation they can build on for the rest of their lives
Learn to revise their own writing with a genuine understanding of why, not just a checklist to check off
Develop confidence using their own authentic and unique voice
Reflect on real life concepts like accountability, compassion, and gratitude through writing prompts that actually make them think
And the best part is you will feel confident teaching it, even if you’ve never felt like a strong writer yourself.

A little about me.
I am a writer, former fifth-grade writing teacher, and homeschool mom. I taught writing to fifth graders for eleven years in public school, and I created this curriculum from scratch because nothing I found was good enough.
One of my former students was accepted to the US Naval Academy. He told his mom he could not have written his application essay without the writing foundation he built in fifth grade. That is what this curriculum is designed to do: give children a foundation they carry with them forever.

Our mission is to help teach a million kids to write.
Literacy changes lives. I have seen it happen in a classroom, one child at a time, for eleven years. Every child who learns to write with confidence is a child who will communicate more clearly, think more deeply, and move through the world with a stronger voice.
That is worth fighting for. And you are part of it every time you sit down to teach.
