We teach our writers to “show, not tell.” Action verbs are a key component in that process! Use this lesson to teach your students to identify and use action verbs in sentences in order to strengthen their writing with clear description.

Help your students become super readers! In this lesson, your students will create storyboards to identify the beginning, middle, and end in fictional texts.

Help your students' favorite characters come to life in new adventures as student writers draft new endings to their favorite stories.

Help your students learn how to move smoothly between ideas and paragraphs using transition words and phrases. Young writers will use real texts as mentors as they study how authors use words to transition between ideas and support their claims. As a result, they will have a word bank to use in their own writing.
