Wordsmith Apprentice 3rd Edition Writing Course

Wordsmith Apprentice 3rd Edition

By Janie B. Cheaney, Publisher: Common Sense Press

ISBN-13: 9781929683543

“All the practicality, humor, and fun of Wordsmith, but written for the younger student, ages 9-12. An easy to use writing course encouraging students to develop their writing skills as they participate in every role on a newspaper staff: editor, reporter, writer, etc. Children develop a love of writing as they express themselves through sentence and paragraph writing, persuasive writing, and much more.”

We found Wordsmith Apprentice to be helpful for older children who are reluctant writers.
