IS ROCKSTAR WRITERS® RESEARCH-BASED?
Yes! It provides HIGH-QUALITY and RESEARCH-BASED writing instruction.
Motivate
The Rockstar Writers® method includes creative mini-lessons for student-centered learning. It provides engaging opportunities for student choice to explore interests, voice to increase ownership, and peer reflections to improve writing. Students become empowered as they build confidence and trust in their writing and get excited about the next writing lesson.
Educate
The Rockstar Writers® method uses a systematic approach that incorporates explicit teaching and scaffolding into each standard-based unit. Explicit instruction gives students a solid foundation and an exemplar of the presented lesson. Scaffolded lessons easily guide students step-by-step through the writing process by building upon each lesson until they have a compelling final copy.
Differentiate
There are various ways to help students, regardless of their academic level. The Rockstar Writers® method implements differentiated instruction, so all students can feel supported and learn to write effectively. It offers materials, lessons, and training for differentiated instruction, including progress monitoring, leveled note-taking, and using prior knowledge and interests.

A Note from Pam:
Hello, ROCKSTAR friends! My name is Pam Olivieri, and I am excited to help you ROCK your writing instruction! I spent over 26 years in the classroom, earning a Master’s Degree and a National Board Certification while embracing my role as an elementary educator and serving as a master teacher. I have loved working with children and experiencing “ah-ha” moments throughout my teaching career. However, I was often discouraged by the lack of practical teaching tools, especially writing. Countless hours were spent searching for ways to help my students. Does that sound familiar?
After seeing what didn’t work in my classroom and helping high school students who couldn’t write college essays, I wanted to create something that would motivate students, build confidence, and instill lifelong writers. Through trial and error, I designed a system called STEP-BY-STEP WRITING®. And WOW, did it ROCK! This method not only made learners fully engaged, but it produced effective, confident writers!
Now, I serve as a writing coach and use this system of step-by-step writing materials, mini-lesson videos, and training to help teachers and homeschool parents. It is in the hands of over 100,000 educators worldwide, with life-changing results. I would love nothing more than to share my secrets to writing success with you, so you can confidently guide your learners and transform your reluctant writers into ROCKSTAR WRITERS®! Let’s get started! Are you ready?
