Perfect Writing Workbook for Intermediate Learners

I'm not a huge fan of workbooks, but in small doses, they can be effective. Writing Fabulous Sentences and Paragraphs is a good example of a helpful workbook. The exercises are brief and provide lots of opportunity for open ended response. My ten year old enjoys using this workbook, too. I think it leans more toward the fourth/fifth grade level. It is a tad too simplistic for a sixth grader, unless you used it as a base to extend from. Even with my fifth grader, I don't consider the workbook ENOUGH writing instruction. But it gives some good writing topics and frameworks for organizing your thoughts (prewriting). Used as part of a larger language art curriculum, this book is a good resource.

Great Writing Help

This book breaks down the components of good sentence structure, writing complex sentences, and writing interesting sentences and paragraphs in a way that is easy to follow and understand. I'm using it for homeschooling, but it is also an excellent tool for enhancing what your child has already learned in school.
