GRADE 1 CONVENTIONS AND CRAFT

Conventions and Craft is six, grade-specific kits for grades K-5.

Each grade-specific kit includes:
* 192, spiral-bound Teacher's Guide
* An anthology of 14 full-color short texts
* 6 informational trade books by well-known nonfiction authors
* Access to a companion website with assessment tools and videos of Linda Hoyt conducting model lesson
