A solution for boys that hate writing |

This series has offered me a solution for boys that hate writing. It covers fundamental writing skills in a manner that has been manageable for my boys. Four days a week, there is a practice worksheet that requires relatively small amounts of writing. For the fifth day's assignment, the child is asked to bring together the work done earlier in the week. Much of the writing will have already been accomplished, and will simply need to be added to and polished a bit. This series is a good way to develop strong writing skills in the elementary/early middle school years. I expect to be able to smoothly transition into a more advanced writing program when the time comes.

The Traits Prepare Students for more... |

As a literature major in college, and began researching the traits because our church day school uses trait based education in its K-12 day school. I use the traits at home and for classes I teach Middle School Students. This relatively new curriculum provides a framework helpful for every grade in elementary. I have recommended this curriculum for mom's who are intimidated by writing. They are thrilled to have found something that finally works. It's a great choice to encourage your student not only write regularly, but write well (don't forget to explain the rubric at the beginning!) Each lesson has fully expanded teacher notes, and includes a "Bubble" at the top to explain how the trait is used each day. The book covers each trait sequentially, while allowing children to practice writing in a variety of formats including expository writing, persuasive writing, descriptive writing and more. Highly recommended.
