Like most ELA curriculums, the one I am required to use does not have a strong writing program. This resource has enabled me to teach my students to write and provide them with the foundation to move on to the next grade level. The interactive notebook keeps students engaged and helps cement important skills into their writer's toolbelt. The resources are high quality and look amazing.
