Description
Using passages and sentences from classic children's literature, the Writing With Ease Workbook allows young writers to practice their skills while absorbing the style and grace of great authors. Charming illustrations by Jeff West add a visual element that will spark your child's imagination.
The Workbook is divided into 36 weeks of instruction with four lessons per week (plus an optional creative-writing lesson at the end of each week!) and includes an Instructor Section and consumable Student Pages. Detailed directions and scripted dialogue with suggested student responses in every lesson allow parents to teach with confidence.
