[quote=Anonymous]My kid attends a school that I think does well with writing. In 3rd and 4th they had a spelling list each week and, for the week, had to write 10 sentences using the words. Underline the spelling word in the sentence. They had to be real complete sentences and could not start with "I" - no phoning it in with a sentence that was just "I like [word]". Word list was 10-15 words, you didn't have to use more than 10 but at home we made a game of getting them all in there, and of making all the sentences about the same topic. In 5th they moved away from a spelling list and focused more on parts of speech. Kid would have to write a compound sentence or use an adverb according to the prompt. Fifth was also when they started writing structured essays. [/quote]
