How it works

Try the whole method with one topic.

1

One small job at a time

Writing a paragraph is broken into four short steps, so no one faces a blank page.

2

Talk first, write second

Learners say their ideas out loud before any writing, so the ideas are ready when the pencil comes out.

3

The same page every time

Every topic follows the same four steps, so nothing new has to be explained.

4

Their words, their paragraph

Nothing gets fixed or rewritten. The finished paragraph is entirely theirs.

Using it

At home

Go at your learner's pace, one step or one page at a time. Read the grown-up guide once and you're ready, no teaching background needed.

In a classroom

Run it as an intervention, a small group or independent practice. It prints clean on the school copier.

Questions

Is there an answer key?

It doesn't need one. Every paragraph is written in the learner's own words, so there is no single right answer.

Does my learner have to do all four steps at once?

No. One step per sitting is fine, and nothing is lost by stopping.

How do I get my files?

Right after checkout you'll see download buttons, and we email you a link too. Everything is saved in My Library to re-download anytime.

Will it print in black and white?

Yes. Every page is designed to print clean in black and white on a home printer or a school copier.

Can I use it with a whole class?

Yes. One purchase covers one classroom or one family. Buying for several teachers or a whole school? See school licenses.

What if I have a problem or a question?

Because these are instant digital downloads, all sales are final. If something isn't working the way you hoped, or you have any question at all, email hello@wiggle-wise.com and we'll help.
