We homeschool and are using this book as a writing curriculum. It has six units:Sentence about a PicturePersonal StoryFriendly LetterParagraph that DescribesStoryHow-to ParagraphI checked the state standards and this book covers at least everything for grade 2. My son has completed 2 units and his writing has improved noticeably. He enjoys doing the work in this book. It has colorful pictures and fun writing prompts. It also has a "report card" at the end of the last five units which he fills out himself. In addition to writing prompts, there is practice in planning, revision, and learning the parts to a good paragraph and letter.

My son has a mild language disorder and needs a very structured approach to stretching and exercising his receptive and expressive language. The public school does not provide enough structure or appropriate ways to practice. Homework is all over the place and the writing instruction weak. So we've purchased several of the books from the series, Writing Skills, Reading Comprehension,and Problem Solving.The books are structured, interesting and attractively illustrated. My son enjoys the stories, the lessons are clear and easy to understand. He has no problem working through most of the exercises on his own....they are wonderful and he is learning!! The answer keys are in the back and I can quickly cross check his work.I was so impressed I went out and bought their complete curriculum which is an exceptional bargain as it covers reading, spelling, math, language arts and writing skills. There is also a section of practice tests.These are ideal workbooks to supplement kids public school education.

This is for my ESL tutee who will be entering second grade. His first grade teacher told his mother that my tutee reads at the third grade level because he just loves to read. He is an eager student and is well-motivated. What is not to love about having a tutee like this child?

I have always thought this series is splendid for learning English. It's a good workbook to get to help your kid learn to write. I wish they would have included different genres of writing, as they are expected to in school. Overall, however, it is a great book to get to help your kid get writing practice.

Workbook started out very easy. As lessons progressed, lessons got a little more involved. My daughter seems to be learning lots while loving the subject she's studying. It seems to go hand in hand with other materials that we are using.

My 7 year-old son is learning how to make full sentences with my supervision using this book. I am happy with it. Good summer activity.
