Building Writers A Workbook, Writing Skills, K+ | Practice narrative, information & opinion writing for ages 5+, build writing skills, fluency; for homeschool, tutor, OT

Love these books! They work wonderful for my daughter and she loves working through them.

I taught for 8 years in a classroom and started homeschooling my kids this year. I have always loved the handwriting without tears program and my kindergartener finished his kindergarten workbook so we moved onto this one. I love it and once he gets the hang of it, I’m going to try to make it be his independent work. It’s very helpful in creating and writing sentences. The ONE thing I wish differently is that it had a true writing road. He does get a little confused with just two long lines and no dotted lines so he’s learned to write letters on the writing road. That was a bit of a learning curve for him but other than that it’s terrific!

This activity book has helped my 5 year old tremendously with his handwriting journey. Not only it helps with the shape of the letters, but it fosters creativity. There are creative writing activities in which he can be as creative as he would like. It also has drawing exercises. Great purchase!

I love this resource, it was just the right amount of scaffolding for my writer.

Best books for my k students to practice their writing

We didn't buy the Teacher's manual, I've been using this on its own with my 6 year old. We used this one after using the 'letters and Numbers for me' work book, and I've seen progress with handwriting. I enjoy these books. My son did like the other one more, but this one focuses more on the types of writing and I like that.

I have utilized this book for two of my children. As early readers and writers, they needed curriculum more advanced than what was typical for their age, but was still gentle enough to accommodate their age. Building Writers has been just that that. The directions are simple. The assignments are in not intimidating. My children still steadily progress, without being overwhelmed with details they aren’t ready for. My children do a page a day, and never dawdle. They also love the opportunity to draw at the end of each lesson. This has been a fantastic curriculum to lean on when we’ve had to simplify school.

I’ve tried it all and this was the best way to get my 3rd grader rolling on the writing train. This pushed her to expand her horizons, and she actually wants to write now!
