We are so excited to announce to the TWJ Community that our TWJ Student Lesson Guide is finished and will be available for digital download on September 1st.
WooHoo!!
The TWJ Student Lesson Guide is a companion guide to our newly revamped Writing Foundations Handbook. True to our philosophy, this lesson guide focuses on the essential 20% of information and skills that will create 80% of the results when it comes to writing instruction for your children.
The instruction in the TWJ Student Lesson Guide parallels the information in our new TWJ Writing Foundations Handbook for parents. Taking students through the writing process and the thought processes involved in communicating clearly, this guide uses small chunks of information to make the information attainable to all students. Students who work well independently from 4th grade to 7th grade are the target age group for using this lesson guide; but it may also be used as a directed student guide for younger students with as much or as little parent involvement as needed. Older students will likely learn many skills as they too work through this lesson guide at a faster pace.
Here are some benefits contained in the TWJ Student Lesson Guide:
Small chunks of information that students can utilize (mostly)
independently
Instruction which teaches new students how to write a quality paragraph
Ongoing practice to further develop the writing process
Reinforced instruction paralleling our Writing Foundations classes
Instruction that follows the TWJ Writing Foundations Handbook for
parents, so that you are prepared to help your students when needed
A resource of information easily accessible to your students to use as a reference at any time, on any school assignment.
IMPORTANT: One downloadable guide may be used for many students IN THE SAME FAMILY. What a deal!
As you can see, the Student Lesson Guide may introduce the writing process to a new student or bolster a student who has learned the information but needs more practice to master the skills. When used together, the TWJ Writing Foundations Handbook and the TWJ Student Lesson Guide are both valuable resources to help your students on their journey through the writing process. Be sure to grab your own Student Lesson Guide on September 1st. Below is a link to our products page; the new guide is available at a discounted introductory price of $20.95.
