To help with this, we've made a few design changes to accomodate all the new materials you've asked for. First, the tabs have more concise wording, and a "Home" tab has been added. Second, the charts under "Lessons" and "Tools" have a new organization. The resources in the top sections of the charts include all the new resources just for emerging writers, which typically correspond to kindergarten students. The bottom sections include all the resources for beginning-fluent writers (first-sixth grades). Teacher Training Learning A–Z customizes onsite and online training for your needs. |
