Two Lined Styles for Differentiated Learning

Self-Assessment Checklist
Encourage independence and accountability with the built-in checklist on every page. Students can check off key writing conventions as they go:
- Finger spacing.
- Capital letters.
- Punctuation.
- Re-reading their work.
Not only does this checklist support editing skills, but it also promotes a sense of pride and ownership in their writing.
