Writing Strands: Beginning 1

Learn basic communication skills with this updated Writing Strands curriculum for a new generation!

This Beginning 1 course was created for students learning to write sentences and paragraphs on their own. The assignments gently guide students through their work each day, helping them master basic writing with unique exercises on dialogue, reporting, interviews, role playing, persuasion, story writing, and organizing and grouping ideas.

Topics addressed in this one-year course include:

• using adjectives to construct sentences
• presenting actions in a logical sequence
• writing conversations using dialogue structure
• describing objects by observing and defining differences.

Includes a suggested daily schedule, worksheets that are three-hole punched and perforated, and a new literature component that helps students look more deeply into biblical passages, as well as other books chosen by their teachers.
