The pages in My Spring Journal have an appropriately large area for illustrations at the top, with writing lines underneath that are the right size for beginning writers and have drop spaces to encourage proper letter formation. In addition, the inside front cover lists holidays and other appropriate words for the month, while the inside back cover features other helpful words, including high-frequency sight words. Blank lines on each inside cover enable students to add new words and create personalized word lists they can refer to quickly and easily when writing. Grades 1-2.
