How it works: students apply grade-level language skills to correct a paragraph on Monday through Thursday; when read together, the four paragraphs form a cohesive composition.

• nonfiction texts on grade-level social studies and science topics
• biographies, book reviews, instructions, interviews, journal entries, and letters
• fables, fantasy and science fiction, historical fiction, personal narratives,
