Features
In six units, each level teaches students to write using the “Think, Organize, Write” method, which incorporates the use of graphic organizers. This method helps students organize and visualize their writing, encouraging successful writing habits. The editing process is taught as an integral part of the program and emphasized through lessons and checklists.

Basic Writing Series 3 units begin with an idea inventory before moving to the three-paragraph process. The main focus of this Basic Writing Series 3 is to teach students three types of writing: descriptive, narrative, and how-to.

Assessments
Progress charts, scoring rubrics, and student writing checklists are provided to help the teacher assess students’ progress and determine which skills need to be reviewed.

Each Book Includes: over 150 reproducible Activities, Teacher Instruction Pages, Assessments, a Parent or Guardian Letter, Templates for Activities, and Games.
