Daily Paragraph Journal
June 14, 2025 - By Amyfrom Savannah, GA
I love the step by step daily writing process. This is also scaffolded to provide maximum support in the begining and then tapered off as the students move through their journals.
Yes, I would recommend this product.

Writing
February 15, 2025 - By Kathleen Jussenfrom San Jose, CA
I use these during small group instruction. I like how they cover a week of writing. I add other items such as drawing or art depending upon the topic.
Yes, I would recommend this product.

Helpful and simplistic
February 09, 2023 - By Amber Smalley
I got this for my reluctant and disorganized writers. They feel less overwhelmed with the writing process by doing 1 or 2 sections a day and seeing how the sentences fit together to form a paragraph. This journal has helped them feel more confident that they can write a paragraph following this basic structure.
Yes, I would recommend this product.

Love the idea
June 25, 2022 - By Dana Huntfrom Ames, IA
I thought this would be great for my kids to learn how to formulate paragraphs. Unfortunately, they found it too boring. Doing one tiny section a day just doesn’t seem very productive for this kind of topic.
Yes, I would recommend this product.
