Write Away: An Instructional Writing Routine A simple, repeatable routine that turns a blank page into a finished paragraph.
For students who freeze at writing — especially those with dyslexia, dysgraphia, or other language-based learning differences — the problem usually isn't ideas. It's the overwhelming load of getting words onto paper. Write Away, developed by literacy specialist Nina Lorimor-Easley over 25 years of work with struggling writers, removes the guesswork with a clear five-step routine that lowers cognitive load and builds writing confidence one paragraph at a time.
Grounded in research on cognitive load, word recall, and executive function, this 21-page guide walks you through the why and the how — then hands you the templates to start tomorrow. Designed for intervention, it works just as well whole-class, and has been used successfully from kindergarten through grade 12.
Inside this download:
The research behind why writing is so hard for struggling writers
The complete five-step Write Away routine, explained step by step
Ready-to-use student templates
Real student writing samples (first drafts through edits)
Scaffolding tools, including color-coding and nonsense-word strategies
A transitions bank for expanding sentences
Who it's for: Interventionists, special education and general education teachers, dyslexia specialists, and parents supporting writers at home.
