Writing & Grammar
Building Writers Student Workbook B
Add extra practice to your Handwriting Without Tears program. The Building Writers composition workbooks offer additional opportunities for writing skills development that can be easily incorporated into your child’s school day as independent writing. With structured exercises using writing styles like narrative, information, opinion, and poetry, your student will become a better, more fluent writer as they write about cross-curricular topics. Also included are customizable writing templates that can be used for topics you assign.
Easy Grammar Level 2 or Level 1
Students learn grammar faster and easier when they're actually writing and editing texts; this hands-on approach to grammar is just one of the reasons why Easy Grammar is so successful. Utilizing the prepositional approach, students memorize prepositions to then eliminate from sentences, making finding the noun and verb much easier. Concepts are reviewed and introduced throughout the school year; this, accompanied with reviews helps to ensure engaged, mastery learning for all elementary aged children.
