Involves 2 distinct processes:
- Text generation: transfer of ideas into representations in language; commonly referred to written expression.

- Semiphonetic spelling:
Letters represent sound, but only some of the letters are represented.
- Phonetic spelling:
Words are spelled as they sound as the speller represents all the phonemes in a word
- Transitional spelling:
Visual spelling patterns are apparent o spellings ex-hibit conventions of english orthography such as vowels in every syllable, vowel digraph patterns...
Written expression assessment:
 Formal writing instruments
   -TEWL-3
   -TOWE
   -TOWL-4
  -OWLS-II

(students through 1st grade)
-learning how to hold a pencil
-recognizing upper- and lowercase
-writing names & common words
(as students progress):
-forming upper- and lower case manuscript 
-learning to read cursive 
-developing personal style
-joining letters]]> 2018-10-18 21:32:01 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_foundas/29n6avt6ivzt/wish/294620932 christina_foundas https://padlet.com/christina_foundas/29n6avt6ivzt/wish/294622045 2018-10-18 21:35:59 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_foundas/29n6avt6ivzt/wish/294622045 christina_foundas https://padlet.com/christina_foundas/29n6avt6ivzt/wish/294622438 2018-10-18 21:37:18 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_foundas/29n6avt6ivzt/wish/294622438 christina_foundas https://padlet.com/christina_foundas/29n6avt6ivzt/wish/294622857 D'Nealian handwriting program:
 Purpose- to reduce teaching r learning time by establishing the letter formations, rhythm, size, slant and spacing that will be used for cursive writing.
- Continuous skill progression with transition fro manuscript to cursive.
Handwriting without Tears (HWT):
  Program pays specific attention to the developmental progression of fine motor skills, & provides teacher guidance in facilitating posture and pencil grasp. 
- uses a multi-sensory approach]]> 2018-10-18 21:39:12 UTC https://padlet.com/christina_foundas/29n6avt6ivzt/wish/294622857 christina_foundas https://padlet.com/christina_foundas/29n6avt6ivzt/wish/294624568 Mixed Script:
- use simplified script that combines elements of both manuscript and cursive writing
Keyboarding:
- beneficial for students who have significant problems with fine motor coordination
Voice-recognition software:
- for students who have motoric difficulties with handwriting and keyboarding (some students with cerebral palsy)
