Not Great for Reluctant Writers

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 15, 2020

Verified Purchase

We purchased 9 of these Spectrum books (3 Reading, 3 Language Arts & 3 Writing, Grades 6, 3, &1) and we ended up returning all of them, except for Spectrum Reading, Grade 1. We starting homeschooling on our own after the schools closed down due to COVID-19. I bought these books as a way to help the kids round out their school year since the public schools were in a scramble to adapt to online learning. While I love their set up, it required too much daily writing. We bought 9 of these books so this review is going to be copied and pasted on to each one.

If you have a reluctant writer or are planning on buying several different Spectrum workbooks for one child, then I will warn you that the workbooks require a lot of writing. A LOT of writing. If you do love the layout of these books, then I would suggest that you alternate which ones your child works on in a single day. My oldest daughter (6th grade) is not a reluctant writer and even she dreaded having to do these books. So if you want to try them out I suggest only getting one at a time and doing only a page a day. A lesson is generally 2-3 pages. If you have a reluctant writer those 2-3 pages will take over an hour to complete. If you child has no issue with writing, then they might be a good fit. Or if you are just wanting one workbook to help your child brush up on certain skills it can be a great choice.

I also noticed the the workbooks seem to stay on the same topic no matter which grade level book you are working out of. So if the 6th grade book was on a lesson about pronouns, then the same lesson number would also be about pronouns in the 3rd & 1st grade books. So this can be helpful if you have multiple children and want to keep them on the same lesson idea. Just be aware that while many line up exactly there are a few off here and there.

The only one of these workbooks we enjoyed is the Spectrum Reading, Grade 1. There is little to no writing required in the book. The first half is an ongoing story about Little Duck. So you read three story "clips" and then ask your child the questions written below the clips. This is normally only a few minutes long, depending on how talkative your child is when it comes to the answers. The other side of the lesson generally has 1-3 photos in 3 rows and the directions are as simple as circling what goes together, number the sequence, write the beginning sound, write the ending sound, identify the cluster, etc. Very little writing. We haven't yet gotten to the second part of the book, but it looks like it is going to be longer stories with comprehension questions. I can update my review once we hit that part.

If you need ideas for what else to look for in case you decide against these workbooks: We ended up switching out our 6th grade writing for an actual writing program (Essentials in Writing), our 3rd & 1st grade writing book was switched out for Writing with Ease (available on Amazon, highly recommend if you have reluctant writers). Our 6th grade language arts was switched out for the same program she does for writing. The language arts for 3rd &1st grade was switched out for Grammar Galaxy. Our 3rd grade reading workbook was replaced with 180 Days of Reading, 4th Grade (same comprehension workbook, but the answers are in multiple choice form instead of writing out long answers). Our 6th grade reading has been replaced for now with Evan Moor's Greek and Roman Myths Literature Pockets (also on Amazon).

Great as a stand alone book and EXCELLENT as a complete curriculum with the entire line of Spectrum language arts books.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 21, 2017

Spectrum has a complete series for Language Arts. This has been a great fit for our homeschooling family as a complete curriculum (more on that below). However, the series would also be immensely valuable as stand-alone books in different situations. As stand alone books they would be great for the child who is struggling with only one aspect of language arts to get some extra assistance, for summer review, or to help advance a child who is bored in school with a specific aspect of language arts. While the books together make a complete curriculum, they do not reference back-and-forth within each other, so each book can easily be used on its own.

This Writing book starts off with a section on writing basics which includes naming things ("I see a __________"), feelings, describing, sentences and questions. It then has three sections on writing - Writing a Story, Writing to Inform, and Writing an Opinion. There is a post-test at the end of each of the four sections which is a nice review of what was learned. This book is very thorough in covering many different types of writing and establishing a good foundation for future writing skills. There is a sufficient amount of space to write in the book. It is a good balance of teaching, and doing. There are a total of 32 lessons. Given the fact that there are usually about 36 weeks in a school year, this is a perfect fit and allows a few extra weeks in case someone is sick, you go on vacation, you want to spend extra time on a lesson, or just to have some fun creative writing at the end. Don't let looks fool you - it looks small, but there is a lot in there!

In order to make a complete curriculum you will want to have the following books:

- Language Arts (instruction in parts of speech, grammar, and sentence structure)
- Reading (this is not helping a child learn to read, this is reading comprehension - reading short stories or passages and then answering questions related to what the child just read)
- Phonics (learning to read)
- Spelling (weekly spelling lists with different modalities to learn grade appropriate spelling words)
- Writing (a great progression in how to write - stories, letters, directions, informative, etc.)

For homeschooling purposes this has been wonderful as a complete curriculum. Many other language arts curriculums are an all-in-one deal. 1st grade language arts means 1st grade across the board. However, if your child is a more advanced reader, that means phonics, reading, and maybe spelling will be far too easy at a 1st grade level. Having all the parts in different books allows you to move up or down in grade level(s) to tailor the language arts to fit your child best (they are not connected so that you HAVE to do all on the same level). We do 1st grade language arts and writing, 2nd grade spelling, 3rd grade reading and phonics. I could never do this with an all-in-one without spending a fortune getting all the different levels and then mixing it up. Having separate books also seems to be easier on my child because they feel like they are doing something new when we pull another book out and it gives us the flexibility to do some in the morning, some after lunch, and some on another day without feeling like there are loose ends.

OVERALL, I highly recommend the entire Spectrum language arts series of books, and this Writing book in particular is definitely worth the money and is very comprehensive for 1st grade.

Helped my struggling writer build confidence

My son is actually writing sentences! My son is 9 years old with autism and in a 3rd grade special education classroom. I am a teacher homeschooling him during the pandemic. He is typically a resistant learner and was not doing much writing at all prior to the pandemic because of his resistance. He is so excited about the confidence this book is giving him. There was a lot of thought put into the progression of the skills in this book. My son is so so proud of his work every time we use this book. He is glowing with joy after he does an activity from this book every time. Any book that makes my kid excited to learn is 5 stars!
