Weekly Real-World Writing Grades 3-4

Weekly Real-World Writing Grades 3–4 turns your child's writing practice into something purposeful—and often hilarious. Over 24 weekly units, your child will try his hand at six different types of writing: self-expression, information, evaluation, inquiry, analysis, and persuasion. He won't just be filling in blanks or mimicking dry samples. He'll be writing actual things people write in real life—things like thank-you notes, product reviews, infographics, biographies, investigation summaries, and even awkward emails. (You know, the kind grown-ups spend far too much time rewriting.)

Each week starts with a friendly overview for you, followed by a real example of the week's writing type, a graphic organizer to help your child brainstorm, two writing tasks with built-in support, and a creative extension activity that connects to his daily life. The student pages are reproducible, so you can use them again. Everything is clearly laid out in a tidy 128-page book designed for home use.

Two rubrics are included to help evaluate both formal and informal writing, so your child can grow stronger in structure and voice at the same time. The format is easy to work with—no special training or red pens are required.

Perfect for writers who need structure but don't want to write the same thing twice, Weekly Real-World Writing lets your child experiment with formats he'll use for years to come—all in bite-size, week-by-week portions that build confidence and skill.
