Write About It: Primary

Write about it was written to provide interestng, fun-filled activities to help boys and girls achieve writing independence. Each page has been carefully designed to reinforce and extend one or more writing skills. Easy to follow directions, fanciful contemporary-based themes, and the use of a controlled but not limited vocabulary encourage purposeful personal writing. To simplify classroom or home use, reproducible activity pages have been organized into two broad areas: vocabulary development and technical writing skills: parts of speech, word usage, word meanings, punctuation and capitalizaiton, writing sentences and paragraphs. Composition and original writing: Organizing ideas. Special literary devices. Prose and poetry. Each of the worksheets is designed to stand alone and provide one complete writing experience. They may be used to supplement and reinforce adopted courses of study and are appropriate for use in individual or group settings. For classroom use, teachers will want to review the skills as listed in the table of contents and plan the order and manner of presentaiton to meet student needs. In a home or other setting where the book is used individually, the pages will fall into a natural skills sequence and can be used most efficiently in the order presented. The purposes of this collection of read-think-and-write activities are to encourage kids to stretch their minds, develop their imaginations, and enjoy the thrill of successful writing.
