“AMAZING resource. I had to be out of the classroom for over a week during our 3rd grade narrative writing unit and this was a quick and easy way to leave the sub lessons so that I could jump back in once I returned. It broke down all of the small moment narrative writing components into bite-sized pieces so that students were not too overwhelmed. Love it and will use it again next year!”  ~Miss Molly’s Room

Contains PowerPoint lessons, scripted minilessons, ALL the graphic organizers, checklists, publishing papers, and more!
