Description
It's a spelling dictionary young writers expand upon as they learn new words. The entry for each letter starts off with a list of words and is followed by a number of empty columns (3 pages of columns is the most for any one letter) where students can write other words they want to be able to reference in the future. Columns are also included for listing colors, family, friends, classmates, and pets; and some other lists provided are days of the week, months of the year, contractions, numbers, and ordinals. A Teacher's Guide is also available, which shows teachers or parents how to get the most out of the student book. Detailed teaching suggestions are given, along with ten blackline master activity sheets and a progress tracker to assess the improvement students are making. ~ Zach

The entry for each letter starts off with a list of words and is followed by a number of empty columns (3 pages of columns is the most for any one letter) where students can write other words they want to be able to reference in the future. Columns are also included for listing colors, family, friends, classmates, and pets; and some other lists provided are days of the week, months of the year, contractions, numbers, and ordinals.
The second volume, More Words I Use When I Write, contains words that are a little more difficult. It is set up in much the same format as the original, though there are a few more pages of columns for each letter (3 is still the maximum). Besides columns to list family, friends, and classmates, there are also lists for the names of the days and months, contractions, the 50 states, numbers, and ordinals. 88 pgs. ~ Zach

Excellent
I got this for my second grader but I wish I had bought it sooner. He is happy to look up common words in it and really needed the help! The font is nice big hand written letters and it has maybe around 300 or so common words.Can't beat it for the price.

Great, but has thin pages
Content is wonderful, and I will use them in my 1st-2nd grade class happily, but erasing in the same spot more than once will cause a hole in the page.
