He descirbes the high correlation between various measurment of writing frequency with scores on math, science, socidal studies test scores. Some of the high correlations exist for any two subjects areas. He also supports the use of technology tools such as the MY Access! instructional writing program from us. We provide instand, accurate feedback, in multiple languages, and allow teachers to have 10X-20X more wriing in the classroom. They spend more time teaching and less time grading, contirubitng very positively to their own motivation, that of the students, and test score gains. Erie 1 personnel have actually seen this program somewhere. I suggest you also look at the Doug Reeves research on writing and positive impact on other curricular test scores.
