"""As a 1st grade teacher, it's important to me to stick to the standards when teaching writing. Braun's book not only meets the standards but provides several opportunities to practice each writing skill. I love how the activities get more challenging throughout the book. I would recommend The Big Book of Writing Skills Activities, Grade 1 to parents and teachers who want to help young children improve their writing in an engaging way."" --Kathy Merrill, 1st Grade Teacher ""This book will be a valuable resource to parents, teachers, and tutors of first-grade children. Kids benefit from explicit instruction in writing skills, and this book is full of examples and targeted practice. At the same time, kids need to get excited about expressing their ideas in order to engage with writing. Hannah Braun includes plenty of fun activities and opportunities for creativity in writing in The Big Book of Writing Skills Activities, Grade 1."" --Jessica Curley, K-1 Teacher ""Writing is an especially challenging skill for young children. This book breaks down the process into manageable pieces. Kids will love the variety of activities, fun illustrations, and the success they experience with writing. Teachers and parents will benefit from having an easy way to teach sentence formation, spelling, grammar, and much more!"" --Susie McAllister, 1st Grade Teacher"
