There is a lot covered in this book. This book helps teach your child writing skills, such as choosing the proper voice, vivid verbs to make for a more interesting written piece, alliteration, similes, and more. Each section has a teaching box, and then several activities that reinforce the concept being learned. I really appreciated the repetition for mastery, and my son with high functioning autism really appreciated the varied activities so he didn't get bored doing them. I thought this was just an average PDF that we'd have to print off, but it's not. I had to download a different PDF reader for this book, and it's so cool! My son is able to utilize a Typewriter feature, and type within the document. Unfortunately, this doesn't save like he assumed so he lost some of his work. It works brilliantly if you print the typed on page individually. The ability to type out the work, and then print the page, works great for kiddos who have weaker handwriting skills, and need the ability to type more. Overall, we really like this. It is packed with topics to learn, easy to type in the PDF and then print, and it has varied activities that are short in duration, but long in retained learning. We both highly recommend this to others.
