Curriculum Corner: Draw Write Now Books

Draw Write Now books are a multifaceted addition to your independent study curriculum. The books can be purchased individually or as a boxed set through Rainbow Resource . Each book contains a theme. For example, Book 1 contains lessons about the farm, critters and storybook characters, while Book 3 includes lessons on Native Americans, Pilgrims and North America.

You can use the drawing lessons in a variety of ways. For example, if you are learning about habitats, you could have your child use Book 6 to aid in drawing pictures that might accompany a report or project. This swan sample shows how you might use the book to draw a picture and copy the short paragraph about swans. Learners might also practice cursive writing as exemplified in this tiger sample.
