Program Description

"The Strategic Instruction Model is a comprehensive, research-validated approach to adolescent literacy that addresses the needs of students to be able to read and understand large volumes of complex materials as well as their need to be able to express themselves effectively in writing. The SIM Writing Strategies are evidence-based teaching tools that gradually release control from teacher to student to help students express themselves and master the writing skills required in most state standards across grades 2 through 12."
