This stand-alone or supplemental program offers a teacher-directed and systematic style with explicit teaching philosophy while addressing skills that students need to improve writing and language arts proficiency test and standardized assessment scores.
SRA Writing and Language Arts teaches students to write effectively in each of the fundamental forms of writing through step-by-step instruction and models.

SRA Writing and Language Arts teaches these specific skills simultaneously rather than in isolation to help students connect ideas and apply the skills in a writing context. Additionally, writing rubrics provide clear and specific vital feedback that targets areas for improvement.
