Struggling writers can improve their skills dramatically if they get detailed, explicit instruction they need. Educators will find a wide range of specific strategies that:
- help with every phase of the writing process, from brainstorming and goal-setting to revision
- are proven effective with students who have learning disabilities (field-testing data included)
- clearly explain how to teach the strategies and adapt them for use across grades
- make learning easier with aids such as mnemonic devices and short step-by-step action plans
- focus on different types of writing, including stories, explanations, persuasive essays, reports, and comparisons
