Step Into Writing

First steps into Writing for beginning readers working with short vowel words and a few sight words. This book starts them easy with three styles of writing: Dictation of a simple story, copywork and the “experience story” which is the learner telling a story and someone else writing it down for them to “read” back. CPS columns on the paper help your learner remember to check capitals, punctuation and spelling. Start them right! - $10

 This level of Budding Authors fits well
with students midway through SCRS L2.

Step On Into Writing

The next step carries on with the format of the first
book and gradually builds vocabulary. This level adds
“Write Your Own Story” pages thus leading toward
continuing with Adventures in Writing. Budding
Author’s step by step progression assures
your learner’s success. - $10

This level of Budding Authors fits well with
students finishing SCRS L2 or beginning SCRS L3

Adventures in Writing

Your student sees a picture, answers some questions,
consults the word boxes and writes his own stories.
This level assists your learner in thinking and writing
down his thoughts. It is a great companion to SCRS L3,
but stands alone as a beginning creative writing program. - $10

Then and Now

By making comparisons, your learner moves into writing paragraphs. Indenting becomes automatic as the first line
has a built-in indent. The pictures are from a book for “new citizens” from the early 20th century. They show family
life and occupations from another time and ask your
student to compare the way things were done then with the
way it is now. Some things never change: we eat, we play, we work. Other things do: We no longer wash our clothes in a tub, wring them out and hang them to dry or make a wall by hanging lathe and plastering over it. Your students gain an appreciation
for the conveniences we have today while they develop more mature thinking skills and learn to write in paragraphs. - $12

Writing U.S. History

This book takes your learner on a journey that includes first
steps in research, expanding skills in writing, and learning U.S. history in depth. It begins with the land and the natives who inhabited it, moves on with the voyage of Columbus and other early explorers, continues through George Washington and
Daniel Boone and culminates with the entry of the 21st Century.
At each point a few details with a couple of pictures gets
your student started on the right track, but only through his
own research can he learn enough to write about the people
and events. When he’s done, he has a treasure to keep. - $15
