Not Just a Question Bank
Most platforms give more prompts and more practice. The Write Place teaches the skills that make writing better.
Explicit Teaching of Writing Skills
Students learn how to:
Write hooks that grab attention
Start with dialogue, action, setting, or questions that pull readers in
Craft endings that feel complete
Resolution, reflection, or circular endings that give closure
Build conflict and tension
Create obstacles, stakes, and rising action in narratives
Use show-not-tell effectively
Bring stories to life with actions, sensory details, and figurative language
Improve flow and paragraphing
Structure ideas logically with smooth transitions and clear organization
Edit for grammar and accuracy
Polish writing with proper punctuation, tense consistency, and clarity
Spiral Progression to Build Mastery
Skills are mapped to levels and revisited across units so students strengthen the same skills in deeper ways over time.
This means students don't just "learn about" hooks once—they practice writing hooks in different contexts, with increasing complexity, building true mastery through repetition and progression.
