About this title

Synopsis

Easy-to-use editing lessons that focus on grammar, spelling, punctuation, and conventions in writing.

A collection of easy-to-use lessons that focus on grammar, spelling, punctuation, editing and use of conventions in writing. Each lesson follows a predictable pattern: a teacher-modeled lesson on day 1, followed by an experience with an unedited sample of student writing on day 2. On day 3, students apply the editing/conventions focus point in their own writing folders; day 4 centers on review and summation.

Replaces Daily Oral Language as a much smarter, more meaningful skill-building learning experience.
Includes a skills grid aligned with national standards that reminds teachers of the understandings about grammar and mechanics students should control at each grade level.
Features editing checklists and assessment guides to help students and teachers keep track of their progress.
