The WEX Method™
"The teacher I was made a difference in children’s lives -- but not in their writing. The teacher I am becoming will make a difference in both."
Bambi Good, K-8 ELL teacher
The Writers' Express (WEX) team of teachers has developed a research-based, classroom-tested sequence of skillsthat guides students of all abilities through a dramatic transformation of their writing and reading powers. The step-by-step, easy-to-follow WEX Method provides lessons on how to create classroom routines and instill learning habits that lead to effective, engaging, and powerful writing.
A Roadmap for Teachers
WEX gives teachers a day-by-day roadmap to follow that leads to good writing. With each step, teachers collect classroom data, analyze student work, diagnose strengths and weaknesses, target specific skills for improvement, and continually assess each student’s progress. And the results are clear: instruction improves and student writing abilities soar.
From Writers to Readers
The Method uses writing as the entryway to reading. As students grow increasingly adept at using the WEX writing skills, they begin to observe how published authors use these very same skills. This, in turn, launches a 
natural, curiosity-driven urge toward the careful analysis of text. WEX enables students to examine a range of texts with the sure competence of craftsmen who understand and appreciate the choices involved in writing.
