Writing with Ease: Strong Fundamentals Guide to Designing Your Elementary Writing Curriculum

Susan Wise Bauer has created a simple-to-use program designed to teach the fundamentals of the English language: The Complete Writer series. This program is comprised of this teacher's instruction book as well as the (sold-separately) workbooks for Grades/Levels 1-4.

Writing with Ease will walk the teacher step-by-step through each level of assignments. A week of complete scripted lessons with reading passages, narration, and copywork assignments are given, which may be extended with personally chosen supplements. Various font sizes make it easy to distinguish between scripted questions, narrations to read, and instructions for the teacher. The 4 levels (covering grades 1-4) are each designed to be completed in a 36-week school year. 252 indexed pages, softcover.
