The 6+1 Trait® Writing framework is a powerful way to learn and use a common language to refer to characteristics of writing as well as create a common vision of what 'good' writing looks like. Teachers and students can use the 6+1 Trait model to pinpoint areas of strength and weakness as they continue to focus on improved writing.

Recently the 6+1 Trait® website has undergone design changes. Rest assured, however, that all the content previously found at thetraits.org is still available along with all the other resources that Education Northwest provides.
