All materials are thoughtfully aligned to the ELA Common Core Standards for Grades 1-3. The grade 1 materials included in this resource focus on writing a beginning, middle, and end with transition words or phrases. The grades 2-3 materials extend to also have students use more detail and create a hook to engage their readers. The 2nd grade materials encourage students to develop actions, thoughts, and feelings in their narratives. The 3rd grade materials extend to using dialogue as well. However, all materials can all be used in either grade to differentiate for your struggling and high writers.
