Writing Market: 2006 is the first-ever study from Education Market Research on the estimated $230 million U.S. Writing instructional materials market for grades K-8, with additional information on the estimated $89 million market for Spelling materials and the estimated $48 million market for Handwriting materials.

The report provides an objective look at this elementary and middle school market segment based on the results of a detailed survey that was mailed in spring 2006 to 16,000 classroom teachers in grades K-2 and 3-5, English/language arts teachers in grades 6-8, principals and district curriculum/instruction supervisors.

Writing Market: 2006 identifies the most frequently used Writing textbook and supplemental programs and leading publishers by grade level. The report also pinpoints how and when Writing is taught, the proper mix of writing styles, and the perceived strengths and weaknesses of currently adopted Writing instructional programs.

If you need to know which Writing, Spelling and Handwriting programs, materials and publishers are most popular, how much is being spent, and what the demand is for new Writing instructional materials, you can’t afford to be without Writing Market: 2006.
