Level D

Suggested Grade: Third Grade

As in Levels A and B, students are taught through drawing how to focus on a main idea. In Level C, it is taken to the next step. Students write descriptive sentences about each drawing. Students insert these sentences into a pre-written story frame.

Level D continues this comfortable format in Unit 1. This is done in an attempt to elicit students’ prior knowledge if they have been instructed with “Teach Me Writing” in the past. It becomes a teaching tool for those students who are not familiar with the process of writing organized paragraphs.

The next three units, or 135 lessons of Level D, concentrate on exposing the students to different Story Settings and different Types of Introductions. Students are given the opportunity to expand stories through the use of transition words, emotion words, Vivid Vocabulary and figurative language. As the students master the writing process, independent practice is provided.

The last section of Level D consists of 45 lessons. These are pre-written Narrative and Expository essays that focus on different Conventions of writing. Students are taught how to edit.
