Does writing time feel a little too dependent on YOU?
Maybe your students...
- 🙋 Need a lot support during independent writing.
- 💭 Get stuck because they don't know what to write about.
- ✏️ Struggle to get started or keep writing on their own.
- 😩 Lose focus or motivation during writing activities.
Meanwhile, you're trying to help everyone at once.
These struggles are incredibly common...but writing time doesn’t have to stay this way.
With the right strategies, tools, and routines, your students can develop the confidence they need to make choices, take risks, and become more independent writers.
And that’s exactly what I’ll help you build in this FREE training!

Hi, I'm Elyse!👋
I’m a former primary teacher and the creator behind Proud to be Primary.
During my ten years in the classroom, I experienced the same writing struggles you might be dealing with now—students who needed constant help, struggled to come up with ideas, or simply didn’t feel confident as writers.
Over time, I discovered that young writers don’t need us to do the thinking for them. They need simple routines, supportive tools, lots of practice, and the confidence to give it a try.
Those are the strategies I’m excited to share with you in this free training.
My goal is to help you build a writing routine where your students feel more confident and capable—and where you don’t have to be beside them every step of the way. 💗
