This writing curriculum is designed to be used with the Simply Classical Memoria Press special-needs classical readiness program. Combining copywork, grammar, and composition for daily practice with written expression, this book also teaches from non-fiction read-alouds to increase vocabulary, general knowledge, and concept development and fiction read-alouds to foster comprehension, wonder, and imagination. Simply read the assigned book each day before beginning the lesson; then introduce and teach the 'rules about sentences' and follow the directions to have the student copy or compose the sentence for the day. Students follow the same directions for each day-they study the rules, apply the rules by marking the sentences with a green, red, and blue colored pencil, and finally work on one of the exercises for the day: copying a read-aloud sentence, creating a sentence from a word bank, writing a sentence with their own words or with the word bank, drawing an illustration for the story, and creating a one-sentence caption for the story. Covers 34 weeks. 119 pages, softcover. Consumable and non-reproducible. Designed for students ages 6-8, whether in chronological age or skill level.
