Writing Fabulous Sentences and Paragraphs
Step-by-step, this publication helps students develop into more effective writers—fabulously. Over the course of 4 sections, students move (with the help of an occasional whimsically drawn animal) from composing strong sentences, to paragraphs (different types); and then finally, to planning and organizing information in a paragraph. Students learn how to strengthen ideas, excel in word choice, identify conventions, recognize sentence fluency, and develop a personal voice as they learn to write short narrative, descriptive, how-to, and comparison/contrast compositions. As teacher, you'll have just-enough guidance in each section to assist your students, a paragraph skills checklist to monitor student's progress, and an answer key. Correlation standards are available on the Evan-Moor Website. Answers included. Perforated pages are reproducible for single classroom only, 111 pgs, pb. ~ Ruth
