Mini Lesson

You started this writing course with a pencil and some blank paper. Today, you are almost at the finish line — and you have learned so much! Let's look at everything you can do now.

A. Getting Started with Writing

  • You learned to form letters neatly and write capital and lowercase letters correctly.
  • You learned to spell CVC words, sight words, and use spaces between words.
  • You learned to end sentences with a period, a question mark, or an exclamation mark.

B. Expressing Ideas

  • You wrote sentences about yourself, your family, your friends, and things you love.
  • You used sentence starters like "I am…", "I like…", and "I have…" to share your ideas.

C. Creative Writing

  • You wrote short stories with a beginning, a middle, and an end.
  • You used describing words, rhyming words, and your imagination to make your writing vivid.

D. Functional Writing

  • You wrote greeting cards, invitations, thank-you notes, lists, short messages, postcards, diary entries, and emails.
  • You learned that functional writing has a real-life purpose — to communicate with others.

E. Project & Review

  • You learned to edit your work, read it aloud, create a book, and write to share your opinion.
  • You are now a writer who plans, drafts, edits, and publishes!
