Syntactic Awareness Drills for the Year
Exposure to syntax via repetition gives children what some call a 'grammar ear. It's the ability to say if something does/ doesn't "sound right." Reimagine Writing Syntaxtic Awareness Drills are proven to be an effective way to teach grammar skills that actually transfer to student writing and also provide concrete strategies for revision.
Editing Drills for the Year
Reimagine Writing Editing Drills offer a daily chance to engage in multi-line editing practice. Departing from the conventional single-line approach, this method reinforces the concept that punctuation should reside at the conclusion of a complete thought rather than simply at the end of a line.
Rooted in Research-Backed Strategies
The Reimagine Writing program utilizes strategies proven by research, including:
- Process-First Instruction: Creating Independent Writers By Utilizing Teacher-Created Writing Goals
- Motivating + Engaging Reluctant Writers By Utilizing Choice and Authentic Writing Assignments

- Data-Driven Writing Instruction + Consistent and Effective Feedback
What’s teachers are saying...
“Turned this teacher who dreaded writing, to a lover of writing!”
This is my 8th year teaching, and up until this year I have dreaded teaching writing to my students. After learning about LaNesha Tabb’s writing program and then further implementing it, I have watched my students writing transform! What I love the most about her process is the consistency piece of it, and how it truly can be used vertically among grade levels! She has turned this teacher who dreaded writing, to a lover of writing!
—Hannah Brick
“Writing is one of our favorite times in the classroom...”
I have used ALL of your writing program and not only do I love them but they help my kids become successful writers. Writing is one of our favorite times in the classroom & the kids are so focused and engaged because they have the tools and confidence they need. I especially love all the resources & videos included for teachers & students plus learning how to create their “grammar ears”.
—Jamecia Raleigh, Kindergarten Dual Immersion Teacher
“My students have significantly enhanced their ability to write across genres...”
LaNesha’s Reimagine Writing program and her writing hub have completely transformed the way I approach building my writing block! I utilize her resources from the HUB every single day, and my students absolutely love them! Through daily drills in both editing and syntax, my students have significantly enhanced their ability to write across genres, and most importantly, they now find joy in writing.
