Most schools aren't providing students the three essential components of effective writing instruction. Is yours?
- Consistent Practice. Students learn to write the same way they learn to play a sport or a musical instrument—with regular, disciplined practice.
- Constructive Feedback. Without a responsive audience, students will only reinforce bad habits.
- Process Emphasis. Students must have the opportunity to respond to feedback by revising and improving their writing. Otherwise, constructive feedback becomes merely discouraging criticism.
The truth is, few schools incorporate all three components. Why? Because this kind of instruction is time-consuming and costly. Providing effective feedback on multi-draft writing projects takes time that busy teachers simply don’t have. Lectures, textbooks, and worksheets can, but unless your students are getting regular writing practice and feedback from expert writing instructors, you’ll never see the kind of skills development you hope for.
Accelawriter is the solution!
We get kids writing with regularity—one draft per week. Our warm, talented, and experienced writing coaches then walk the students through the writing process, providing encouragement, correction, and instruction along the way, so that every writing experience is a learning experience.
We use simple web tools to connect your students and teachers to our writing coaches. Students access assignments and instruction by visiting a personalized webpage each week. They complete their writing assignments using any common word processor and submit the papers online. Their personal writing coach then provides thorough comment and correction and returns the paper. Throughout each course, your teachers have full access to all their students’ work and e-mail access to their writing coaches.
Whether you are looking for a complete writing solution, or just something to supplement the writing instruction your students are getting, Accelawriter offers the flexibility you need. We offer three 6-week courses in each grade 6th-12th. You may enroll any number of students in one, two or all three courses.
Our program works with all charter school models—homeschool, independent study, even traditional brick-and-mortar. As long as your students have access to a web-connected computer, we are ready to help.
