Workbooks in the series:
REVOLTING WRITING gets kids writing in their own voice through topics they enjoy. Each chapter in the journal encourages students to write a different essay type, and also includes a themed vocabulary list, practice exercise, cursive copywork, and an illustration prompt to enhance their writing with creative, colorful, and humorous inspiration! Themes in each chapter carry over to the same chapter number in each workbook in the program for fun-filled full language arts lessons!
GROSS-OUT GRAMMAR 1 aligns with chapter themes in Revolting Writing with the first nine chapters easing students into grammar concepts with colorful game-like exercises. Lessons begin with sentence types and progress through parts of speech, punctuation, synonyms, antonyms, homophones, and commonly misused words. A midterm challenge quiz is at the end of Book 1 to review concepts before moving to the next book in the grammar series.
GROSS-OUT GRAMMAR 2 continues with grammar study chapters 10-18 that also aligning with themes in the same chapters in Revolting Writing. Grammar lessons continue with contractions, possessives, capitalization, quotations, dictionary skills, the basic writing process, proofreading and editing, and simple poetry terms. Lessons are humorous and illustrated to engage students! A final challenge quiz is at the end of the book for a fun final review to cement learning.
NEW! ROTTEN READING A includes six novel/book studies and an introduction to literary terms. Book selections were chosen to align with themes with chapters 1-6 in the Revolting Writing and Gross-Out Grammar 1 workbooks. These stories will rouse reluctant readers into a lifetime love of reading! Each study begins with new literary terms and a suggested reading/activity schedule. Studies include comprehension questions (illustrated for coloring/doodling), “Critic’s Review” discussion questions, literary term exercises, “Artful Additions” creative expressions, and “Rotten Recipes” to bring the book to life and make it edible! A Rotten Reading Cross-Examination to challenge students and strengthen their new literary vocabulary.
What Pleased Parents Have to Say…
” My son is actually doing the work. I’m both shocked and excited. Thank you so much for creating these!”
“At first she couldn’t believe I would get her something so gross! But very quickly she came to love how quirky and silly it is! So far it’s our favorite workbook of any kind.”
“When the books came in the mail I announced our summer language arts fun had arrived and everyone groaned. Then they saw the covers and began to flip through the pages AND ASKED TO START RIGHT NOW! They are learning and laughing and that is a blessing!”
“…this was a very good way to break past those barriers toward writing being “boring” or “too hard.”
“I have a very reluctant writer in my 10 year old son, and when it arrived, we were looking through it and he asked me if he could start it now…on a Saturday! I would definitely recommend this book. It is so creative and fun and brings out much laughter and creativity.”
“Finally a language arts curriculum that my boys enjoy! They get to be silly and gross and they are learning! Love it!”
Any subject can be used to teach grammar and writing. Why not use what interests and excites them?… And makes them laugh!
LANGUAGE ARTS for REVOLTING WRITERS gets reluctant writers excited, laughing, and willing to try. We can ask them to write about their favorite family event or day at the part, but then we struggle to motivate them. However, funny words, would-you-rather questions, gross ideas, and video games can also be used to teach parts of speech. Such topics are more enjoyment for middle school aged kids and will excite them to write in their own voice!
