Workbook Details:
This resource covers all outcomes and indicators related to writing in the Saskatchewan Language Curriculum (ELA).

There are 348 activity sheets that are aligned to cover the outcomes in the Saskatchewan Language Curriculum. Included are 10 blocks of content, each covering a different text form. Within each block, the goals, outcomes, and indicators are taught.

This is a language program developed by a language teacher. We have included exemplars/mentor texts for students to use to formulate success criteria so they can improve their writing quality.
