5 checklists carefully designed for educators and parents to support any student who finds writing challenging, especially those with dysgraphia and expressive language issues. We use them with great success in our tutoring sessions to:
-
-
- Teach paragraph structure eg TEEL
- Reduce anxiety around writing
- Reduce cognitive overload
- Promote confidence in students
- Encourage independence in writing
-
- Used to explicitly teach writing frameworks to lower, middle and upper primary students as well as lower secondary students.
- Provide students with an explicit break down of a persuasive and informative writing framework.
- Colour coded for clear visual differences between paragraph types.
- Ready made sentence starters designed to reduce cognitive overload to prompt students into writing about their topic.
-
-
- Reduce pressure a student may experience when thinking of appropriate vocabulary to use
- Easily memorised
- Applicable to any topic.
- Promote confidence to experiment with alternative synonyms to get their message across.
-
- Tick off boxes designed as a visual aid to provide a sense of accomplishment and reduce overwhelming feelings around writing.
- List of link words/ fronted adverbials to start sentences in their body paragraphs. These are necessary as they discuss and explain their topic in detail.
