WRITING BY WHIPKEY
reproducibles ...$12.00 One of our most popular products, this unit provides students with a structured writing program, yet one that allows for creativity.

WADING INTO WRITING
reproducibles ...$35.00
Although grammar rears its ugly head in this unit, the emphasis is on learning how to write by writing. Just as your students have learned how to create messes, mayhem, and melees, they can learn to build sentences and create paragraphs by modeling what they've read. The models begin with simple sentences, build to more complicated sentences and then ultimately lead into writing paragraphs. We've gone a few steps beyond that and included assignments on writing book reports, letters and short answers for tests.
WADING INTO WRITING WORD LIST
flip chart ...$9.00
This Kids In Between product contains several hundred words and phrases that have been classified into parts of speech. When any writing assignment calls for using a prepositional phrase, students can flip this handy little flip chart to prepositional phrases. They can also flip to nouns, verbs, adverbs, and others to aid them into putting together a complete sentence. These parts of speech appear side by side in columns thus allowing the learner to see that how a word is used determines what part of speech the word is. The flipchart also includes conjunctions, prepositions, commonly used phrases, and typical words that begin dependent clauses. The flipchart is not only a big help in completing the assignments in Wading Into Writing Reproducibles, but is also a real learning tool for getting the parts of speech straight.
