Basic Writing Series Binder 3

Basic Writing Series teaches the writing process through simple, sequential steps. Activities progress in difficulty from the first binder to the third. The series begins with writing letters and words, moves to writing one and then two paragraphs, and finally leads to writing several paragraphs in a specific format. Binders feature various writing prompts to motivate beginning and struggling writers. Students learn to organize their thoughts and understand the writing process while building writing confidence.

Features

In six units, each binder teaches students to write using the "Think, Organize, Write" method, which incorporates the use of graphic organizers. This method helps students organize and visualize their writing, encouraging successful writing habits. The editing process is taught as an integral part of the program and emphasized through lessons and checklists.

Binder 3

Units begin with an idea inventory before moving to the three-paragraph process. The main focus of this binder is to teach students three types of writing: descriptive, narrative, and how-to.

Assessments

Progress charts, scoring rubrics, and student writing checklists are provided to help the teacher assess students' progress and determine which skills need to be reviewed.

Includes

Over 150 reproducible Activities, Teacher Instruction Pages, Assessments, a Parent or Guardian Letter, Templates for Activities, and Games.
