180 Days of Writing for Second Grade - An Easy-to-Use Second Grade Writing Workbook to Practice and Improve Writing Skills (180 Days of Practice) / Shell Education, Vivian Poey, Nicole Weber

Do you wish your student appreciated writing? Is your student struggling to grasp the basics of writing, including the writing process, as well as the creative opportunities that can unfold through writing? This writing workbook is the perfect opportunity for your child to venture outside their comfort zone and improve their writing skills and fluency.

Organized into 18 theme-based, two-week units that each align with a single writing standard, 180 Days of Writing provides high-interest themes and allows students to interact with mentor texts during the first week of the unit and apply their learning during the following week.

Students will learn the steps of the writing process, how to expand their writing skills like adding detail through words, and explore creative writing components like narratives through exploratory writing assignments. This writing workbook invites children to practice their writing skills regularly, all while absorbing new information and improving their technique. Practice makes perfect, even with writing. And with all the creativity and fun loaded into this workbook, they might forget they’re learning at the same time.

Who should use this workbook? It’s perfect for the student who needs to spend a little extra time working on their writing skills outside of school. Use the daily practice activities as part of a classroom morning routine, at the beginning of each writing lesson, or as homework. Genre-specific rubrics and data-analysis tools provide authentic assessments that help teachers differentiate instruction. All activities are correlated to College and Career Readiness and other state standards.

Help your students develop strong writing skills that will serve them throughout their school years and beyond.
