The WriteTraits Classroom Kit Grade 1 has many usable resources and age-appropriate projects. However, many of the resources in the box were far too complex for first graders. The poster is almost entirely made of words and contains advice rather steep for a first grader. "A good beginning pulls the reader into the writing. Verbs add voice and detail: Waldo slurped his soup. . . . (there are 12 other similar comments). The flip side of the poster is more colorful, but awful wordy for a quick checklist. It is titled, "Writer's Rubric". The student guide isn't any better. A lesson on voice begins (p.62) "When rain falls, drops splash into rivers and ponds. Drops splatter onto streets and rooftops. But most drops plop onto the ground. Some drops trickle down through grass and leaves to pebbles and soil below". My rough Flesch-Kincaid calculations estimate this at about a third grade level. Are first graders used to an average of seven words per sentance? Is anyone adapting this for first grade?

*Instead, try 'Wee Can Write'. This book is highly requested by k-3 teachers.
