Customer Reviews

Simple yet Thorough

Do not let this small (134 page) workbook fool you. It packs a lot of content. The lay-out is simplistic with clear instructions and definitions on each page.Most 3rd graders can do this on their own.Basically, it is a lesson plan already done for you. There is no need to plan ahead or look up other information. This book guides you through the writing process. The content builds gradually, consistently and thoroughly,and is the foundation for upper level writing. It has 6 chapters that are already divided into lessons.It covers all writing from simple sentences, short paragraphs, friendly letters, compare and contrast, to narrative and descriptive writing and more. The basic lay-out is a lesson with a definition or information, an example of the how to use the new information, followed immediately with a practice area. This book works with both slow learners and fast learners. It great!

Good for homeschooling

I am using the Spectrum books to homeschool my 1st and 4th graders. They seem to be working very well for us.

Excellent!

This is a great skill-building book for learning to write. It has bright colors and appealing graphics.

To my expectation

This book is standard to other books published by the same publisher. No Thrills but full of useful information for 3rd or 4th grade student. You won't buy the wrong book as it is clearly stated.
