12 weeks of Essentials, all in one place. Each week gives your student a full EEL + IEW planner spread (matching our F/E parent planner), workbook pages for 4 full days of practice at home! 4 days of chart practice, grammar pages with worked examples, editing practice, and a rotating vocabulary activity. Plus reference pages they'll use all semester. 132 pages, instant download.

What's inside

• Each week opens with a weekly planner spread : a full at-a-glance page showing EEL & IEW side by side, day by day.

  • Chart trackers with check boxes.

  • Spelling list page numbers with space for their spelling menu choice

    • and blank numbered spelling word list

  • IEW workbook page numbers & writing stage (rough draft → edit → final)

  • EEL & IEW overview boxes

  • EEL notes

  • Vocabulary list & page number for definitions in IEW book

  • PLUS - QR codes across the top that link straight to your spelling and punctuation rules, grammar snippets, weekly charts, and Onward e-zine (clickable if you're working digitally).

    
    

Then each week gives you:

• Chart Practice pages — one per day, with a practice-method checklist (song/chant, write it, hop scotch, velcro matching, fill-in-the-blank) and a daily chart total, plus a fresh review activity: matching, sorting, circling structures, hunting classifications on the chart

• Grammar (EEL) pages with "Teaching Moment" boxes and worked examples before the practice — so a student who missed something in class can catch it at the table without you re-teaching from scratch. Also loaded with lots of hints and reminders!

• Editing practice using real editing marks, built from that week's history sentences

• A vocabulary activity that rotates — crossword, word search with a hidden riddle, fill-in-the-blank, matching — so it never gets stale. Plus a review (starting week 3) of earlier vocabulary, so nothing gets learned and then quietly forgotten.

• Occasional Quick Quiz at the end of the week (written or answered orally with a parent)
