WHAT TEACHERS HAVE SAID:

"This has been a wonderful resource to help my struggling students with special needs. It is so visual and it is great to have them practice identifying, writing, or editing the different parts of a paragraph before we begin building their own writings. Thanks!" --Tools For Busy Hands

"This worked so well to help my students with special needs learn to write paragraphs! The color-coded, visual nature of this was perfect for them.

" -- Taylor B.

"This is just perfect! It is so nice to have a resource made by a teacher who gets what teachers need in the classroom. Being able to have lessons and materials at hand and ready to go is a lifesaver. Thank you so much:)" -- Amy B.

"My students struggled with writing a complete paragraph and this broke it down and helped my students in their writing!" -- Joelle D.

"This is such an amazing resource and helped my students understand how to better organize sentences into paragraphs! I loved the easy prep and how visual and interactive it was! Thank you for such a great resource! " -- Angela H.

"This by far has been in the top 3 purchases I have made on TPT. Before, it was a struggle for the kids to write a complex sentence, let alone 5 together to make sense. By introducing this concept, the students are automatically using the green, yellow, and red writing strategies and making multi-paragraph stories. Amazing resource and a must in any classroom!!!!!!!!!" -- Shannon S.

"This was great for helping my students really "see" the breakdown of what goes in a paragraph. I wish I had started using it at the beginning of the year! " -- Shannon E.

"Writing is always a difficult task for my second graders. This resource makes writing so easy." -- Novak

"This is my favorite writing source to use with my third graders! I have them keep their mini-books in their writing folders all year to use as a reference. Thank you so much for making a valuable resource!" -- Emily T.

"I started using this immediately with my third grade EL small group, and it has worked very well. I love having the lessons broken down into simple steps that can be taught in my short, 30-minute time slot. Thanks for this great resource!" -- Julie M.
