And with resources such as transparencies and a trait-based writing guide, you have everything you need to provide students with motivating writing practice!

You'll love Paragraph Writing because it:

• supports 6-Trait writing. Activities build skills in each trait -- voice, organization, word choice, conventions, ideas, and sentence fluency. And a trait-based writing guide at the beginning of the book makes it easy to see exactly which skills are being developed.
• contains multiple lessons at varied difficulty levels. Help differentiate instruction in your classroom using lessons that fit all of your students' needs.
• introduces students to important paragraph writing skills. From topic sentences and supporting details, to using an outline or web diagram -- it's all covered.
• integrates writing across the curriculum. Writing forms and prompts provide opportunities for students to practice their writing skills in science, social studies, and math.
• inspires reluctant writers. Motivating topics and delightful illustrations make writing fun!
• is correlated to state standards.
