The National Writing Project focuses the knowledge, expertise, and leadership of our nation's educators on sustained efforts to improve writing and learning for all learners.
"Writing matters because it gives us a way to give our thoughts a form that we can return to, to revise, to expand. It is part of our legacy in our constantly evolving world, for generations to come. And, as children’s author, Avi, states, 'Writers don’t write writing; they write reading' and reading is a critical skill for life-long learning." -Sandy Shacklady-White, West Chester Writing Project

Drawing on more than 50 years of National Writing Project (NWP) research and practice, our latest book, Writing Still Matters, positions writing as a deeply human act of thinking, meaning-making, and civic participation—one that must be taught intentionally at every grade level and across disciplines.
The text is organized around core principles of effective instruction and reframes an essential question for modern classrooms: How do we cultivate confident writers when AI tools can draft and summarize at the click of a button? Through vivid classroom portraits and analyses of current literacy research, the authors demonstrate how agency is built when students are positioned as critical decision-makers and designers of their own work, rather than passive technology users.
