This has been a great resource to leave for a sub as our writing curriculum is too difficult for a sub to figure out. However, it coincides and aligns with our writing curriculum.

I really love this resource. I used it with my second graders last year and it was perfectly scaffolded to make them successful when opinion writing. I’ve also been using the “Summer Prompts” with a child I am tutoring this summer and they are keeping him engaged and excited about writing!
