Daily 6-Trait Writing Grade 2
Strong writing is built one skill at a time. Daily 6-Trait Writing breaks the writing process into six essential traits: ideas, organization, word choice, sentence fluency, voice, and conventions. By focusing on one trait at a time, students learn not just how to write, but how to write well.
While the six traits remain the same, the lessons and expectations grow with your student's grade level.
Designed for short, manageable lessons, this workbook provides 125 daily activities that help students strengthen specific writing skills through consistent practice. Each lesson takes about 15 minutes and targets an area that contributes to clearer, more effective communication.
Students learn how to develop stronger ideas, organize their thoughts logically, choose precise words, create smoother sentences, develop a distinct voice, and apply correct grammar, spelling, and punctuation. Because the lessons are brief and focused, students can build confidence without feeling overwhelmed.
Daily 6-Trait Writing works well as a stand-alone writing supplement or alongside a complete language arts program, providing structured practice that helps students become more thoughtful, capable writers.

How to Use Daily 6-Trait Writing
Daily 6-Trait Writing is designed to take about 15 minutes a day. Complete one lesson each school day to build writing skills gradually through consistent practice.
- The book contains 25 weeks of lessons. We recommend beginning around week 12 of your school year so the program carries you through the remainder of the year. If you start earlier or later, simply adjust the pace to fit your schedule. Any unfinished lessons also work well as a summer writing review.
- The program focuses on six essential writing traits: ideas, organization, word choice, sentence fluency, voice, and conventions. As students work through the lessons, they'll strengthen each area through short, targeted activities.
- If handwriting is a challenge, don't let it become a barrier to development. Students can dictate responses, write on a whiteboard, or type their work when appropriate. Developing strong ideas and developing handwriting skills are related, but they don't always need to happen at the same time.
- Take time to notice growth along the way. Whether it's a stronger sentence, a more organized paragraph, or a particularly effective word choice, recognizing progress helps students develop confidence as writers.
- With short daily lessons and a clear focus on the traits of effective writing, Daily 6-Trait Writing makes it easy to build writing skills one step at a time.

My son absolutely hated the 6 Trait Writing Series. He was not interested in the topics and fought doing it. We tried a lot of other writing curriculums and he liked them all better than this one. It just did not work with how his brain thinks.

Good for reluctant writers
Steph H.
This is a great book for reluctant writers. The "bite-sized" lessons build on each other to practice a particular skill, but vary in the amount of actual writing each day. I have some children who love to write and some who don't, so this is a great resource for my second grader, who falls into the latter category.

Simple, not overwhelming
Karina A.
I've used Daily 6-Trait writing for about 10 years now on multiple kids, and it's a decent way to start kids on writing. It's not rich in content, but if you're doing plenty of read aloud, it makes for a good writing curriculum. I'd recommend this for elementary age students.

We’ve been using these writing books the past few years and I think they are very beneficial. Our first time using this 2nd grade. It was challenging but saw our son grow a lot thru it.

2nd Year with this curriculum
Rachelle
We love how short writing is each day. We spend about 10-15 minutes on each lesson. We love how lesson 5 builds on lesson 4 each week.

PERFECT for Daily Skill Building
Vanessa H.
Evan Moor books do great giving just a snippet of practice each day that builds up to excellent skill development. My hesitant little writer really likes this workbook and happily works on her writing skills using this book after resisting most writing programs recommended by her OTs. We look forward to doing Grade 3 next year!

Nice Book

We always enjoy the Evan Moor work books. They are a nice touch on the topic and teach valuable writing and critical thinking skills. We buy these every year to add to our curriculum.
