Just Write and Writing Skills are two writing curricula which I recommend. The pages are clearly set out, and easy to use and teach. The students learns to write in a sequential way. First understanding sentences, then paragraphs, and then developing stories. Students gain understanding of verbs, adjectives and sentence construction. Students will identify topic sentences, concluding sentences, and write their own as they begin to write paragraphs. Students I have worked with have benefited greatly from these programs. These may be used for remedial writing. Both of these curricula may be viewed in depth and the appropriate grade level selected by viewing the EPS School Specialty website http://eps.schoolspecialty.com/products/?subject=WHS.
