Writing with Purpose <show description>
Successful writing is difficult for struggling readers. This 20-lesson curriculum uses oral language and thinking skills as a foundation for successful writing. It supports reluctant writers by incorporating illustrations rich in content, graphic organizers and writing frames.
The Student Book begins with What is Writing, followed by three chapters focusing on forms of expository writing: Descriptive, Sequential and Comparative. Each chapter has five lessons that follow an identical sequence: plan, write and review.
The curriculum includes a Student Book and a Teacher’s Guide.
