Frequently Asked Questions

What is Bridge to Writing?

Bridge to Writing is a comprehensive K–5 writing program that supports explicit, systematic instruction in sentence formation, grammar, composition, and the writing process. It helps students build the skills they need to become confident, capable, and purposeful writers.

What grade levels is Bridge to Writing designed for?

Bridge to Writing is designed for Kindergarten through Grade 5. Each grade level follows a clear progression that helps students move from early sentence formation and idea development to more complex composition, revision, editing, and genre-based writing.

What is the difference between the Standard Kit and the Small Kit?

The only difference is the number of student materials included. The Standard Kit includes materials for up to 25 students, while the Small Kit includes materials for up to 15 students. The instructional content, teacher materials, and program design are the same.

How does Bridge to Writing support grammar instruction?

Bridge to Writing teaches grammar in context so students can apply language skills directly to their own writing. Rather than treating grammar as a separate skill, lessons connect sentence structure, word choice, conventions, and composition to help students write with greater clarity and purpose.

How does Bridge to Writing support the writing process?

Bridge to Writing guides students through planning, drafting, revising, editing, and sharing their writing. Teacher-friendly routines, modeling, guided practice, and student materials help students develop ideas, organize their thinking, and strengthen their writing over time.

Does Bridge to Writing include digital resources?

Yes. Bridge to Writing includes access to a digital resource platform, myHeggerty, which provides digital resources, instructional support, lesson materials, and tools that enhance teacher-led writing instruction.

Is Bridge to Writing aligned to the Science of Reading?

Yes. Bridge to Writing is grounded in research on how students develop as writers. The program delivers explicit, systematic instruction in sentence formation, grammar, composition, and the writing process — building the foundational writing skills that research consistently identifies as essential for literacy development.

How does Bridge to Writing support differentiated instruction?

Bridge to Writing includes practical differentiation supports within daily and weekly instruction. Teachers receive guidance for reinforcing skills, extending learning, supporting multilingual learners and English language learners, and using assessment information to make instructional decisions.

Does Bridge to Writing include assessments?

Yes. Bridge to Writing includes embedded assessments to help teachers monitor student progress and make informed instructional decisions. Assessment tools are also available through myHeggerty, giving teachers easy access to data that supports differentiation and intervention planning.

How do I adopt Bridge to Writing for my school or district?

Bridge to Writing is available for purchase directly through our online store. Standard and Small Kit options are available for each grade level, making it easy to order for individual classrooms or across a full school. For large district orders or questions about implementation, request a quote.

How does Bridge to Writing connect to Bridge to Reading?

Bridge to Writing and Bridge to Reading are designed as companion programs that work together to build a complete foundational literacy experience. While each program can be used independently, together they provide students with explicit instruction in both reading and writing — reinforcing skills across both disciplines and giving teachers a cohesive, research-aligned approach to early literacy.
