This resource was super easy to follow! It has different types of writing, which was perfect in my first grade classroom. I love the choice of worksheets to pick and choose what I need or modify as needed. This made this very low prep easy to think about, and overall the students loved all of the writings here!

My district doesn’t have a writing curriculum and this resource was easy to follow and took out a lot of the planning time. I just needed to tweak a few things to match district pacing but otherwise was able to use this right out of the box.

My writing units are in need of good no-nonsense resources that arent overwhelming for students learning the foundations of writing. I have been using the organizers and visuals for anchor charts.

The writing prompt worksheets were a nice addition to my writing center; however, some of the resources were too advanced for first graders.

It is a good resource for IEP goals. Variety of passages and no prep.
Chelsea Dunn –
I think this is an engaging way to get students to enjoy writing. I use it as an ealy finisher and it seems to work out well. Normally my lower students do not get to it but it seems to be more appropriate for my middle to higher students anyways and may be too independent for the students who struggle with writing.
