The Write Like a Rock Star Revolution!

Schools across the country are using Title I funds to host this program. Here’s how Write Like a Rock Star could fulfill 3 of your 10 requirements.

#1—Engages Parents

The after school component of Write Like a Rock Star engages parents with their kids in a directive activity (writing a rock song) designed to get parents involved and excited about their child’s schoolwork.

#2—Includes Professional development

A special session helps teachers harness the excitement generated in the Write Like a Rock Star event to change student reading habits for life.

#3—Offers Ongoing Engagement

We leave the school with simple tools to keep the campus engaged & students excited about reading and writing (see the Write Like a Rock Star program page for details).

Complements your RTI

The workshop portion of Write Like a Rock Star is designed to help schools turn struggling readers into Rock Star Writers! One school even reported that student assignment completion rates skyrocketed from 30% to 100% after our events.

We also help you engage parents in the process. By showing that reading & writing skills are essential tools of every rock star, we help you change parent attitudes toward reading at home.

Abstract concepts like metaphor and alliteration are made concrete by showing how these devices are integral components of every rock, country & hip hop song. No hit radio song can exist without metaphor or simile.

Your students gain confidence by helping create a song, and parents see the importance of language arts.

By drawing connections between your curriculum and pop music culture, we not only make these concepts easier to understand, but help you show students & parents why they should care.
