Workbooks provide grade appropriate examples (stories, essays, and poems), vibrant illustrations, space to complete lessons, additional essay prompts, and more. With twenty assignments, students will complete one every other week. While the workbook could be considered optional, it is highly recommended to gain the full benefits of the Baran Method. In the words of the author, “Practice makes Permanent.” It is through consistent practice that students will hone their writing skills and become proficient writers (or writing ninjas in the words of the author).
