StoryTime Treasures Student & Teacher Set
Grade 1- First Semester
Second Edition
Students who have completed First Start Reading Books A-D successfully are prepared to read Little Bear early in first grade as part of our StoryTime Treasures Set. But even Little Bear, which is a level 1 I Can Read Book, has many sight words and advanced phonograms that students either haven’t learned or hasn’t mastered. It is the nature of English that simple common words are often irregular or have advanced phonograms. This is what causes the transition from phonics to reading in English to be so difficult. These preparatory skills are not for mastery learning but rather exposure to the more advanced phonograms students are seeing in their literature. It takes much practice and phonetic support in first grade for the student to become a fluent reader. All phonetic support to aid in student success is included within the StoryTime Teacher Guide. See a Sample

The Complete Writer: Writing with Ease instructor text
In The Complete Writer series, Susan Wise Bauer turns every parent into a writing teacher. No experience is needed.
Drawing on her fifteen years of experience in teaching writing, Susan lays out a carefully-designed sequence of steps that will teach every student to put words on paper with ease and grace. This alternative plan for teaching writing combines the best elements of old-fashioned writing instruction with innovative new educational methods—and explains why so many writing programs fail.
Designed for elementary-aged writers and for older students who still struggle, Writing With Ease builds a sturdy foundation of basic skills for grades 1–4 (or levels 1–4 for the older student who needs more work) all in the same book. Diagnostic tests within the book will help the parent to determine where the child needs to start and which workbook the child will need.
You can use the text by itself as a guide, then choose your own copywork and dictation; or you can buy the workbooks, which do all the work for you. Each workbook covers one grade.
The Complete Writer: Writing With Ease Workbook 1
Workbook 1 provides every copywork assignment, comprehension question, and reading passage that you’ll need for a full year of writing study.
Using passages and sentences from classic children’s literature, Workbook 1 allows young writers to practice their skills while absorbing the style and grace of great authors.
Charming illustrations by Jeff West add a visual element that will spark your child’s imagination.
Take the tears out of writing…use Writing With Ease!
