This is an excellent writing resource that I will be using in my 1st grade classroom this Fall. The activities are great and touch on all the standards we need to cover.

This 1st Grade Writing Workbook is an excellent resource for helping young learners improve their writing skills. I especially like how it guides children through different types of writing, including handwriting practice, story writing, and even opinion and informational pieces. It does a great job introducing the building blocks of structured writing in a way that feels age-appropriate and achievable. The handwriting sections help reinforce neatness and consistency, while the story prompts encourage creativity and imagination. The informational and opinion writing activities are simple but effective in teaching kids how to express ideas clearly. I highly recommended this workbook for parents and teachers looking to support early writing development!

This writing workbook is a great way to have children practice their writing skills for 2nd grade. I love that it has a variety of writing styles for them to practice, but some parts also require an adult to assist them.

I am a first grade teacher, and this is exactly what I needed for my classroom.

I love the activities, the pictures are vibrant and fun, and it's printed on great quality paper. It's a must have!

Spectrum has a complete series for Language Arts. This has been a great fit for our homeschooling family as a complete curriculum (more on that below). However, the series would also be immensely valuable as stand-alone books in different situations. As stand alone books they would be great for the child who is struggling with only one aspect of language arts to get some extra assistance, for summer review, or to help advance a child who is bored in school with a specific aspect of language arts. While the books together make a complete curriculum, they do not reference back-and-forth within each other, so each book can easily be used on its own. This Writing book starts off with a section on writing basics which includes naming things ("I see a __________"), feelings, describing, sentences and questions. It then has three sections on writing - Writing a Story, Writing to Inform, and Writing an Opinion. There is a post-test at the end of each of the four sections which is a nice review of what was learned. This book is very thorough in covering many different types of writing and establishing a good foundation for future writing skills. There is a sufficient amount of space to write in the book. It is a good balance of teaching, and doing. There are a total of 32 lessons. Given the fact that there are usually about 36 weeks in a school year, this is a perfect fit and allows a few extra weeks in case someone is sick, you go on vacation, you want to spend extra time on a lesson, or just to have some fun creative writing at the end. Don't let looks fool you - it looks small, but there is a lot in there! In order to make a complete curriculum you will want to have the following books: - Language Arts (instruction in parts of speech, grammar, and sentence structure) - Reading (this is not helping a child learn to read, this is reading comprehension - reading short stories or passages and then answering questions related to what the child just read) - Phonics (learning to read) - Spelling (weekly spelling lists with different modalities to learn grade appropriate spelling words) - Writing (a great progression in how to write - stories, letters, directions, informative, etc.) For homeschooling purposes this has been wonderful as a complete curriculum. Many other language arts curriculums are an all-in-one deal. 1st grade language arts means 1st grade across the board. However, if your child is a more advanced reader, that means phonics, reading, and maybe spelling will be far too easy at a 1st grade level. Having all the parts in different books allows you to move up or down in grade level(s) to tailor the language arts to fit your child best (they are not connected so that you HAVE to do all on the same level). We do 1st grade language arts and writing, 2nd grade spelling, 3rd grade reading and phonics. I could never do this with an all-in-one without spending a fortune getting all the different levels and then mixing it up. Having separate books also seems to be easier on my child because they feel like they are doing something new when we pull another book out and it gives us the flexibility to do some in the morning, some after lunch, and some on another day without feeling like there are loose ends. OVERALL, I highly recommend the entire Spectrum language arts series of books, and this Writing book in particular is definitely worth the money and is very comprehensive for 1st grade.

I received in a bad condition!!!

Great book, I use this as a supplement for my homeschooled grade 1. He finds it not too easy not to hard, and not boring.

K2の息子用に購入しましたが、答えがフリーなので採点&指導能力が問われます。 私ではムリだったのでプリスクール等ネイティヴに子供自身が聞いて答えてもらえる環境があるならいいと思います。

Great book, great printing and binding with quality paper.
