Writers in the Schools revolutionizes the way reading and writing are taught, nurturing the growth of the imagination and awakening students to the adventures of language.
Storytelling reveals our truest selves. Since 1983, Writers in the Schools (WITS) has worked hand-in-hand with educators and professional writers to teach students the craft of writing. WITS is transforming the hearts and minds of young people all over Houston.
Creativity prepares children for the future. Witness the way over 65,000 students and educators in over 400 Houston classrooms plant their own stories each year, and discover the WITS magic that’s cultivated every day when students, writers, WITS staff and community members join together.
