Spectrum 6th Grade Writing Workbook: Strategies and Practice for Informative, Argumentative, and Story Writing Based on State Standards

Jacqueline Muscha: This book would probably be good for summer review, but it is not a thorough writing course. It might work for those students who struggle with writing or don't like to write.

Reviewing things so you don’t have to: This so perfect for teaching kids how to write and create speeches. It goes over paragraph formation, sentence structure, tone of paragraphs and essays, and more. There ar e any activities in the book to help them learn how to write well and it’s great for going over reading comprehension skills.

While I love their set up, it required too much daily writing. We bought 9 of these books so this review is going to be copied and pasted on to each one.

If you have a reluctant writer or are planning on buying several different Spectrum workbooks for one child, then I will warn you that the workbooks require a lot of writing. A LOT of writing. If you do love the layout of these books, then I would suggest that you alternate which ones your child works on in a single day. My oldest daughter (6th grade) is not a reluctant writer and even she dreaded having to do these books. So if you want to try them out I suggest only getting one at a time and doing only a page a day. A lesson is generally 2-3 pages. If you have a reluctant writer those 2-3 pages will take over an...
