What Customers are Saying:
"As someone very new to Lucy Calkins, this set has been very helpful to me. The set is very clear and I like how I can adjust the material as necessary. It also helps to "demystify"/"declutter" the huge lot of information I have to get through." - Jeannie C., Feb 2016
"I have only scratched the surface of this bundle but I'm already SO glad I purchased it. I'm teaching [TWO] new grade levels this year without the proper writing curriculum and I know this is going to be a lifesaver. We've just done the first few lessons of the informative unit and I love the pacing and layout. My only regret is that I didn't search for it sooner!" - Amy S., Jan. 2016
