The student's activity pack includes two sets of worksheets bound together in one volume: the WriteShop Junior Book D Student Worksheets Pack and the WriteShop Junior Level 1 Fold-N-Go Grammar Pack. Both are tear-off pads. The Student Worksheets will also be available separately at a later time. Upper elementary ages (8-11 years) would begin with Level D if they need to learn to identify and use proper grammar and punctuation, how to choose strong words, brainstorming before writing, writing a paragraph, writing research-based articles, or self-editing and revising their own work. This level could be stretched into grades 6-7 for a child with learning struggles (although the worksheets may seem childish). Children who are comfortable with basic sentence structure and have learned basic paragraph skills would begin with Level E.

My boys struggle with writing and I struggle with grading it as this is not my strong suite. This looks likes a curriculum I can do together with all my kids and I like that it involves some hands on…
I used this level for both of my boys and thought my daughter would also enjoy this writing program
I used this curriculum with my older daughter and it was great!
