Grammar and Reading Comprehension: Students are given two to four pages of activities that reinforce what they have been learning in the classroom.
Writing: Students are given a writing topic every week. They should be using the Step Up to Writing method that they have been learning in the classroom. Their expository (informational) writing should always include a topic sentence, at least three details, conclusion, and a detailed picture. When writing a narrative it should include a beginning, middle, and end. The writing should be neat and organized. The picture should be neat and colorful.
