The student must coordinate many skills at the same time and the more automatic each subskill is, the easier it will be for the student to incorporate it with other skills (Richards, 2002).]]> 2020-09-26 12:15:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jlsimcock/qfpnb57nenc5aqga/wish/781323450 jlsimcock https://padlet.com/jlsimcock/qfpnb57nenc5aqga/wish/781326524 Writing should be approached as a process.

At each level students need substantial explicit instruction and modeling, followed by a great deal of practice before each step becomes automatic (Richards, 2002). In order to motivate students make it fun and let them be creative, play with words!]]> 2020-09-26 12:26:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jlsimcock/qfpnb57nenc5aqga/wish/781329533 jlsimcock https://padlet.com/jlsimcock/qfpnb57nenc5aqga/wish/781342370 2020-09-26 12:41:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jlsimcock/qfpnb57nenc5aqga/wish/781342370 jlsimcock https://padlet.com/jlsimcock/qfpnb57nenc5aqga/wish/781343059 2020-09-26 12:43:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jlsimcock/qfpnb57nenc5aqga/wish/781343059 jlsimcock https://padlet.com/jlsimcock/qfpnb57nenc5aqga/wish/781344808 is a writing strategy that helps students understand their roles as writers, the audience they will address, the varied formats for writing and the topic they'll be writing about.

Transition words provide coherence to a story, bridge gap between ideas and provide signals to the reader or listener about what is coming next (Reading Rockets).]]> 2020-09-26 12:54:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jlsimcock/qfpnb57nenc5aqga/wish/781348854 jlsimcock https://padlet.com/jlsimcock/qfpnb57nenc5aqga/wish/781356463 When the writing task is the primary barrier to learning or demonstrating knowledge, then accommodations, modifications and remediation for these problems may be necessary.  Examples include: rate or volume of work, tools used to produce written product (computer, graphic organizers, voice to text), time allotted, remove neatness or spelling as grading criteria, break writing into stages, along with many others. ]]> 2020-09-26 13:07:54 UTC https://padlet.com/jlsimcock/qfpnb57nenc5aqga/wish/781356463 jlsimcock https://padlet.com/jlsimcock/qfpnb57nenc5aqga/wish/781484044 Computer software encourages students to add graphics, color and fun to their writing. Goal is to motivate students and express their ideas fluently using a written format. Good for older students who have longer and more complex writings as well when proofreading and editing. Younger students may use this to combat  fatigue in the writing process and in keeping with a multisensory approach. Should be balanced with the students skill ability and the need to keep important life skill of bringing pen to paper so to speak (Richards, 2002)
