I have three children, and I also teach ESL students. I bought this book because it has a variety of interesting writing topics, and gives plenty of practice to students of all ages and abilities. My little Grade 1 daughter uses the first section of the book, writing a page of sentences each day after school. My young son, in Grade 4, uses the workbook after his little sister has finished her sentences, and does a page or two of paragraph writing. He enjoys the different categories of subjects that each page offers. Finally, my Grade 8 teenager sits down, twice a week, and chooses an essay topic to do. I like the idea that the whole family can use the same book, and I plan to keep the book as a family memento, when the children have finished it, as a record of my children's writing when they were young. Being an ESL teacher, I also have an extra copy of the book to use with my students at school. I have noticed an improvement in my children's and my students' writing ability since they started using this workbook, through regular practice and the building of writing confidence. I recommend this workbook to families and ESL students alike.
