Writing Intervention

The majority of my students struggle with writing and whenever they are asked to provide a written sample, they cringe, they cry, and they throw tantrums.

I have developed a 13-step writing intervention program. I use these steps to improve my students' writing and I have found that it really makes a big difference. Some of the steps are from "Prevention and Intervention of Writing Difficulties for Students with Learning Disabilities," a research article by Steve Graham, Karen R. Harris, and Lynn Larsen. Some of the steps are originals, which I felt were important enough to include. Students are motivated throughout the process because the intervention is broken down into 13 simple and MANAGEABLE steps. I really think your students will benefit from this as much as mine have.

Following complex directions

Many of my students' goals this year are to improve comprehension for following complex directions. I decided to make my own activity. I hope you find it useful too.

In this activity you will find multi-step directions which include prepositions, temporal concepts, quantitative concepts, and conditional "if."

Irregular Past Tense Verbs

Here is a FREE printable activity to practice using and writing irregular past tense verbs in sentences. First, print and laminate the pencils. I then place the pencils in a cup and have students draw a sentence one at a time. The students must then correct the sentence by using the proper verb. I have students write out the correct sentences to practice their writing.
