О книге

This unique resource provides over 250 ready–to–use activity sheets to correct 101 of the most common writing errors made by student sin grades 4 and up, from often–confused words and double negatives to indefinite pronouns, run–on sentences and irrelevant details.

For each error, you’ll find two or more reproducible activity sheets based on steps in the writing process to give students the information and practice they need to understand and correct that problem. The activities feature simple, clear directions and can be completed independently with a minimum of teacher supervision.

To assure easy access and use, materials are organized into eight sections and printed in a big lay–flat binding that folds flat for photocopying of any activity sheet as many times as required. And most activities include solution keys for self–correction and evaluation.

Here’s just a sampling of the ready–to–use help you’ll find in each section:

  • Word Usage Help provides 35 activities for words often confused (Are You Ready Already?), idiomatic usage (Agree to What?), illiteracies and colloquialisms (Nowhere! Nohow!), and triteness and double negatives (When No Means Yes).
  • Punctuation Help features 28 activities for use of the comma (Lists and Separators), period, question mark, exclamation point (Stop!) and more (Semicolon Suggestions and Hyphen Help).
  • Spelling Help gives you 40 activities for homonyms (I Hear With My Ear), words with ie or ei (Chiefs and Thieves), capitalization (Always Begin Big), prefixes and suffixes (Happy Endings), commonly misspelled words and more.
  • Grammar Help includes 35 activities for agreement of pronoun with antecedent (Do You Agree with Me?), indefinite pronouns (Anyone Can Be Somebody), misused prepositions (Don’t Fly Over), linking verbs, verb tenses, misplaced modifiers and much more.
  • Sentence Writing Help supplies 32 activities for recognizing a complete sentence, sentence fragments, (Broken Apart), run–on sentences (Running Past the Base), redundancies (You Said That Already), agreement of subject and very and cutting unnecessary phrases.
  • Paragraph Help provides 37 activities for organizing a paragraph, sentence order (Scrambled Paragraphs), topic sentence and concluding sentence (Sum It Up!), sentence variety and length (Chop! Chop!), transitions (Making a Connection), clauses and irrelevant details.
  • Essay Writing Help presents 31 activities for organizing a three–paragraph essay (As Easy As 1, 2, 3), pre–writing or clustering (First, Get Ready!), outlining (Making a Skeleton), introductory and concluding paragraphs and more.
  • Letter Writing Help includes 14 activities for personal letters (Thanks a Lot), business letters (Set It Up!), and job applications (I Can Do It!).
In short, the WRITING SKILLS PROBLEM SOLVER gives you a quick, practical way to address individual writing problems without using precious class time and helps you provide the instruction and reinforcement each student needs to overcome specific problems and become a better writer.
