Workbook Design This workbook is designed with both teachers and young writers in mind. The activities in this book provide ageappropriate and engaging writing practice. Each activity can be easily incorporated into a writing block as independent writing or as whole group practice to meet your students’ varying needs. In this book, students are provided carefully scaffolded opportunities to grow as independent writers. Each page has easily accessible and child-friendly resources to ensure writers at all stages are supported as they learn the building blocks of successful writing. Activities in this book are intuitive and engaging, with exercises specifically designed to provide students with a framework to develop core writing skills.
This book’s developmentally designed content gradually prepares students for independent writing across the three main writing types: Narrative, Information, and Opinion/ Argument. In each section, students are introduced to the key elements of each writing type in a purposefully organized sequence. Specifically chosen templates (familiar from previous activities) are at the end of each section for further practice. These templates can be adapted in order to apply the learned writing skills in each section to curriculum-specific content, student-chosen topics, or other individualized subjects.
Additional Resources Teacher tips for using this workbook and additional resources are available online at LWTears.com/BuildingWriters. For additional writing practice, use our Writing Journals.
