\"Real<\/p>\n

Are you looking for a good way to get your kids excited about writing? The Weekly Real-World Writing<\/a> workbook Timberdoodle recently sent me to review may be just the ticket!<\/p>\n

\"Blog<\/p>\n

It is chockfull of practical assignments designed to give students word-smithing experience they’ll be able to repeatedly apply to real-world situations for the rest of their lives: writing thank you notes, penning opinion pieces, recording recipes…<\/p>\n

\"Recipe<\/p>\n

… submitting lab reports, composing journal entries, writing product reviews, leaving comments online, and a bunch of other fun tasks. I love this book! <\/p>\n

Folks who know me as an author, blogger, newspaper columnist, or co-op composition teacher might assume I’ve always enjoyed writing. But that’s not true. <\/p>\n

Writing was my absolute least favorite subject back when I was in school. Getting a five-paragraph essay out of me as a high schooler when was like pulling teeth. And don’t even get me started on term papers! Given the chose between ten pages of math problems or two paragraphs of writing, I would’ve chosen the math every time. <\/p>\n

\"Real<\/p>\n

But while I definitely do still use math every day, I use writing even more. And I can’t help but think I would’ve learned to enjoy that process much earlier if I’d had a book like Weekly Real-World Writing<\/a> that demonstrated the practicality of polishing and perfecting this incredibly useful real-world skill.<\/p>\n

\"Real<\/p>\n

Whether you’re looking for a way to get reluctant writers excited about the writing process or you’re hoping to help enthusiastic writers branch out into something besides essays and book reports, Weekly Real-World Writing<\/a> can help. I hope you’ll check it out.<\/p>\n

It is available both for individual purchase and as part of Timberdoodle’s Fifth Grade Curriculum Kit<\/a>, so check it out.<\/p>\n

While you’re on the Timberdoodle website<\/a>, I’d encourage you to look around. I love everything I’ve ever ordered from this small family-owned company! <\/p>\n
