I absolutely love this resource! The way it is laid out and all the components of it make it so easy for my students to follow along. We have completed a few prompts so far and I have seen some growth in my writers. I made this into a writing folder so it is all in one common place. Thank you for a great resource!

This is a great resource. My students enjoyed using this resource and it helped make their writing stronger. Very helpful in organizing thoughts, prewriting, editing and publishing.

I am looking for a way to step up the writing with my second graders. This is so helpful because it breaks down the writing process to an understandable concept for younger students.
Kimberlee K. –
I use part of this every day with my students! I have been able to introduce informational, opinion, and narrative paragraph writing for my 2nd grade students. About every week, we have a new prompt that we write about using the brainstorm, planning, first, and final draft pages.

My students loved using this resource to strengthen their paragraph writing skills. This was a low prep easy to prepare resource.
Jessica S –
This is the best writing resource I have EVER used with my first graders. This takes the daunting task of teaching first graders how to write paragraphs and makes it fun and engaging. We work on one page per week and the kids were so excited to see their paragraphs come to life. THANK YOU!

I was able to use this unit embedded into my distance learning classroom. My students were able to follow along through a very scaffolded resources. Thank you so much!

Writing is a challenge for me to teach, but this made it so much easier. It breaks it down into manageable pieces. It’s made very engaging as well. Students enjoyed it–and so did I!
Julie D –
This was great practice for my students to practice writing paragraphs in all three genres. They found the prompts engaging and it was so explicit that they became very good at the format. Simple to implement for a para in the classroom as well.

Excellent. Printing lines were a great size but there wasn’t enough space for some writers as most of my kids tend to write in large font. Otherwise helpful resource!
