Encouragement Comes In Many Ways...

Workshops Overview While selecting a session, keep in mind that the grade levels indicated are a general guideline. For example, for Grades 4-6, if your student is younger and writing sentences fairly independently, s/he is welcome to attend. Conversely, if your student is older and struggles with writing more than a few sentences, s/he would benefit from the additional coaching. Please feel free to contact me to discuss any further questions. Each workshop is designed to be stand-alone, or attended in any combination. None are sequential. I implement the 6-Trait Writing approach which complements other writing programs. The elements of writing are practiced: only the terminology may differ. The other major component of my work with students, is the use of published literature to model and to demonstrate: "What do accomplished authors include in their writing?" Every student receives a Writer’s Notebook which is a beneficial, user- friendly resource. It is used in all of my workshops, and it is a resource which can augment any commercial writing program. Students may use provided pencils and paper to construct drafts, or they can bring from home a tablet or laptop if that is their preferred writing mode.
