                 written outside of class using the 5 step writing process. 

Class Structure - How will the lessons be formatted?
For each topic mentioned about, the lesson will be broken into these type lesson parts:
~Brainstorming
Brainstorming is a key component in the writing process.  This is a shared experience with students, guided by the teacher.
~Writing
This is the main focus of each lesson.  This is where the child will use the previous skills to write their own sentences and stories.
~Editing & Revising
This is only a gentle correction and improvement, so they can learn that editing is a part of the writing process.
~Activity Set Worksheets (These will be provided)
~Publishing the Writing Project
This is the most exciting and rewarding experience for young authors. The students will publish in creative and artistic ways.
~Evaluating Student's Work
The teacher has evaluation sheets for each child.  This is not meant so much as a grading device, but to help determine where each student is exceeding, and where they may need a little more help.  These are kept private, and only shared with parents.
~Extension activities to dig a little deeper 
These are extra assignments that will be given as optional.  A fun way to extend on your learned knowledge.

This course is fun and effective!  Your child will enjoy the activities whether your child is a reluctant writer or loves to write.  

Please contact me with any questions you may have.

Why hire me to teach your child to write?
I am a certified teacher grades pre-k to 6th grade for all subjects.  I am also certified in ESL and Special Education from pre k-12th grade.  I have many years of experience teaching in a traditional public-school setting, homeschool setting (k-12th), private tutoring, and teaching online.  Teaching reading and writing is what I was made to do.  I enjoy spending time with children, and very much enjoy helping them find their talents to read and write.  We have a lot of fun doing so!  I allow children to explore their own creativity while writing, and this has proven to be extremely effective in creating amazing writers.  I would be honored to explore the techniques of writing with your child.
