WADING INTO WRITING
reproducibles ...$35.00
The thrust behind Wading Into Writing, is to create models for students to follow. The materials do not assume that the students know any part of speech or that they already recognized what a sentence is. Bit by bit they are led to the point of creating their own sentences, but always with a model to follow. As they "wade through writing" they should ultimately reach the point where they can write three paragraphs that will at least remind you of what paragraphs are supposed to look like. There are a total of 189 worksheets that you may or may not used depending on your time, patience, and tolerance. Sections also cover the writing of short answers to tests, the writing of letters and the writing of book reports.
WADING INTO WRITING WORD LIST
flip guide ...$9.00
This Kids In Between product has several hundred words and phrases that have been classified into parts of speech. When any writing assignment calls for using a prepositional phrase, student can flip this handy little flip chart to prepositional phrases. They can also flip to nouns, verbs, adverbs, and other parts of speech 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.
KIB WRITES/KIB SPEAKS/KIB REPORTS Series The series is written by a former teacher who believes that students are more serious about writing when assignments are related to the real world and will be seen, heard, or read by others.
