Book Description

October 15, 2001
Alicia aces geometry but barely passes English. Ben's an idea powerhouse who has trouble figuring out where to start and when to stop writing. Fernando's efforts to read and write are frustrated by a learning disability. Need solutions for students like these? The Structured Writing method is here to help. The secrets to its highly successful results lie in the focused, incremental pace that simplifies planning and organization; the incorporation of concept maps, word processing tools, and color-coded templates; and the motivation that springs from success. By the final lesson, students are writing fully developed paragraphs with skill and enthusiasm and flaunting what they once found daunting.

FEATURES
Explicit and systematic approach for improving paragraph writing skills
Recursive, multisensory composition process perfect for students with special needs
Templates for paragraph webs and outlines on CD-ROM
