How it works

Answering in writing becomes three small jobs instead of one big one.

1

Unpack the question

Learners figure out what a question wants before they try to answer it.

2

Say it, then write it

The spoken answer comes first, so the written one is never a guess.

3

Prove it

They find the clue in the story that shows their answer is right.

What's inside

8 original stories
School, home, friends and pets, each with three short parts.
Unpack, Turn It Around, Prove It

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

What grades is this for?

Grades 2 to 4, and older learners who freeze at written responses.

Can my learner do one story over a few days?

Yes. Each story set has three parts that can be done in one sitting or spread out. Rereading the story is good practice.

Will this work at home and in a classroom?

Yes. Pages work one on one at the kitchen table, in small groups, or as independent practice once the routine is familiar.

Is there an answer key?

Yes. Model answers for every page, with notes on what else to accept.

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.
