How it Works:

Students apply grade 6 language skills to correct a paragraph on Monday through Thursday; when read together, the four paragraphs form a cohesive composition. A writing prompt on Friday relates to the week's four-paragraph composition and provides an opportunity for students to apply the targeted language conventions they practiced.The weekly passages cover a broad range of expository and narrative writing forms, including:

nonfiction texts on grade-level social studies and science topicsbiographies, book reviews, instructions, interviews, journal entries, and lettersfables, fantasy and science fiction, historical fiction, personal narratives, and realistic fiction

Customer Reviews

perfect for daily English review

I moved to 6th grade English this year, and needed to get a new DOL book. This one was perfect. It's challenging enough for all students, and an answer key is provided in the back. I make overhead transparencies of all the pages so save paper copies. My principal loves it when teachers use DOL method to teach English. I don't use it every single day though - I go in spurts, then switch off with other grammar exercises. I highly recommend this book for English teachers.

A timesaving routine that improves writing!

I picked this up out of curiosity and was pleased to find that the organization is concise, the topics are different every week and very high interest for kids, and most of all, the consistency of format, usage of proofing symbols, etc. makes it a great daily routine that improves the editing and proofing portion of the writing process. Well worth the money!
