At our website, we offer three week samples of each of our composition books, entitled \u201cMeaningful Composition\u201d (MC). We only have Levels 4th through 8th and a couple of high school books (though our Level 8 first semester and Level 8 second semester are considered high school beginning writing books) done so far, but you are more than welcome to go to our site, print off the samples of a couple of books and work through them with your kids over the next few weeks. <\/span>
<\/span>
MC books are written to the student in what we call our \u201cdirected writing approach.\u201d This means that they give step-by-step directions to the students in each assignment (as opposed to writing ideas or prompts). <\/span>
<\/span>
For example, if your student does not understand the basics of what a paragraph contains, you can print the samples for MC 4 I (formerly 4+) and do those with him. If your student does not the basics of putting paragraphs together for essay or report writing, you can print the samples for 4 II and do those with him. There are several books in Levels 5 through 8 that have writing lessons for the middle grades. And if your student does not understand the basics of research report writing, try MC 9 I samples. <\/span>
<\/span>
