Why Use Write Rights
Daily language practice ensures students use proper mechanics, conventions, and vocabulary every day, so
that they can apply previously taught writing lessons to their own compositions when revising and
editing. Cyclical, daily review of writing skills means that students revisit learned skills as they
encounter new ones.
How to Use Write Rights
Write Rights resources ensure that you can meet the range of student needs in your classroom. Write
Rights include a booklet cover page, student daily activity sheets and answer keys at four developmental
levels, and student rule sheets that summarize key grammar skills at various points throughout the
thirty-week cycle.
Write Rights daily activities are designed for you to print and hand out to each student. Students
organize the activities into a booklet that they add to each day. Activity sheets have punch-hole marks
at the top so that pages can be kept together using brass fasteners or rings.
Each day, display the projectable versions of answer sheets for students to self-correct the daily
activities. The projectable can also be used for whole-class review of the daily activity.
Write Rules sheets feature engaging comic characters for two levels: The Grammarians for
beginning through developing writers; The Grammar Sleuths for fluent writers. The characters in
the rules sheets help students understand all the rules they apply in daily activities. Rules sheets are
designed to be collected as a set and can be added to students' booklets alongside the activities they
accompany. The Grammar Sleuths also appear in special comics for certain weeks to further teach
or review skills.
