Description

Complementing the writing units in the Handbook, students practice proofreading skills and writing better sentences. Parts of speech are also practiced. Throughout the activity pages are writing prompts that vary from sentence practice to creative writing. Although the program uses the same Write on Course Handbook across Grades 6-8, activities are varied, and become more challenging at the upper grade levels. Cross-references in the SkillsBook connect the Write on Course 20-20 and All Write, to the remedial or ELL course from Thoughtful Learning.
