Product Overview
WriteShop Primary Book C introduces the steps of the writing process through engaging activities, crafts, and picture books. As with earlier WriteShop Primary levels, children who are reluctant or not able to write on their own are encouraged to dictate their stories and ideas to you. As their skills develop, they will begin to gain both confidence and independence. For more advanced students, extra challenges appear throughout each lesson to promote stronger writing habits. Successful writing results from purposeful instruction. WriteShop Primary has been created with parent-and-child partnership in mind, so plan to work together with your student through each step of the program building stronger writing habits. You will also need Activity Pack Level C. By the end of Book C, children will have learned to plan, create, and publish simple stories with parent help. They will: Plan the main ingredients of a story before beginning to write Learn to ask who, what, when, where, why? Use different graphic organizers to plan a story Write entries in a personal journal Describe an object, a person, and a place Write a nonfiction article Write a book report Learn to use research to write a short report Publish stories through projects or crafts Other skills introduced in Book C include Using standard spelling Identifying describing words Using a simple self-editing checklist Summarizing contents of familiar books Collecting research facts about a specific topic Using computer publishing software
