Structured Lessons and Activities for Reluctant Young Writers
Dr Gavin Reid is an international psychologist and author who has written over 35 books in the fields of dyslexia, learning skills and motivation. His co-authors for this publication are Certified Structured Literacy Practitioners who also hold additional qualifications in educational testing and have published several books on reading fluency, written expression and spelling.
In this latest publication, they address the problem that teachers often encounter with students who are struggling with independent writing and with ways to encourage them to take more risks in their writing, and develop successful and independent writing skills.
Chapters contain detailed lesson plans including:
- Grammar
- Sentence crafting
- Punctuation
- Paragraph writing
- Creative writing
At the end of each chapter there is also a one page brief snapshot into wider issues related to writing.
The structure of the ready to go lesson plans are outlined in the book’s introduction and the authors explain that these can be adapted for whole class, small group or one to one sessions.
This is an excellent resource that provides everything needed for effective teaching and successful writing outcomes.
