All components of PM Writing are closely linked to form a holistic reading and writing program. It is recommended that each component be used as suggested in the Teachers’ Resource Books.

The PM Writing Teachers' Resource Books have been developed to explicitly teach writing, knowledge and skills across a range of student abilities through specific learning tasks.

The teaching content in the books is flexible, making it appropriate for use in whole-class, small-group and independent teaching and learning environments.

The Teachers' Resource Books include:

• comprehensive lessons for whole class, small group and independent reading and writing
• scope and sequence of learning outcomes
• specific learning tasks
• lesson plans based on text types and themes
• assessment guidelines and analyses of writing samples
• links to other books within the PM collection.

• once the text is complete, it can be published, exported and printed.
