Writing and Grammar Curriculum for Grades 3–12
Teacher made. Student tested. Everything below fits together into one system.
I wrote these books in my own classroom and tested them with my own students. Whether you need one skill or a full year of instruction, here's how the pieces fit together.

The Complete Writing Program
A full year of writing instruction in one book. Students learn one simple trick that turns a single paragraph into a five-paragraph essay, and then into a full research report. If you buy one thing, buy this.
Two free books included: How to Teach the Paragraph and How to Teach the Five-Paragraph Essay — a $29.90 value.
Grades 3–12 · eBook or softcover
From $54
Buy the System and Save
Every bundle is built on the same three books — How to Teach the Paragraph, How to Teach the Five-Paragraph Essay, and How to Teach the Research Report. They use the same structure at every stage, so each one makes the next easier to teach.
​From there each bundle adds the next piece. The list below shows what each one adds and what it costs in both formats, so you can see what the difference in price buys. Every bundle costs less than buying the same books separately — $13 to $23 less, depending on the set.
