Deck A student writing book, teacher's manual, and computer software. Students learn to focus on their topic and support general ideas with specific details while narrating, explaining, arguing, and describing. Besides oral language and sentence combining units, young writers practice ten major writing assignments. Scoring rubrics in the teacher's manual are provided for each prompt. Students build a writer's vocabulary by combining with connectors, glue words, locator words, and ING words, by expanding with journalistic questions, and by rearranging ideas.
Specific units help students identify and correct fragments and run-ons in practical ways.
