We are implementing a new Writing supplement for our school, called Every Child A Writer (ECAW). You will see home grammar work and paragraphs that your child creates using these structures in their writing. It has been used by many distritcs nationwide with great success.
Writing is based on the model of Layers of Writing, which is a curriculum that Springs Ranch has been following for two years now. Please follow the link below if you have more questions, or just ask me.
We are excited to be using this new Language Series by Harcourt Language. It is very easy to understand and there are lots of resources for each student to increase their all around grammar and vocabulary skills. Click under the book below to be taken to the Harcourt Language site!
