HOW IT WORKs

This six-week online course is designed for students needing extra support with foundational writing skills. On the first day of the workshop, you'll receive access to the course in the Teachable platform. Your child will have all week to complete the lesson at your family's convenience. 


Each weekly module will include instructional videos, model texts, a writing assignment, editing checklists, graphic organizers, and other printable resources! We will study a different type of writing each week and focus on the following skills:


  • Brainstorming ideas and choosing a topic
  • Using graphic organizers
  • Writing a strong opening sentence to hook the reader
  • Adding supporting details
  • Using transition words
  • Adding adjectives to create a movie in the mind of the reader
  • Writing a conclusion
  • Revising and editing
  • Publishing


At the end of the six weeks, students will have a notebook filled with resources for writing!
