Our writing program helps students move from writing with fluency to
writing with flair!
Our goal is to help students develop good writing habits early. Learning to write well takes time, practice and encouragement. It is often a challenge for teachers to give students the one-on-one they need so master this skill.
Using the California State Standards we have developed a writing curriculum for each grade level. Students learn the following "Writing Process" : Pre-write, Outline, First Draft, Revise, Edit and Publish. They learn a variety of writing genres. We teach students using graphic organizers and skill building activities for each grade level.
SAT Writing
The writing portion of the SAT includes an essay section. The student's work is scored holistically, meaning the essay is judged as a complete piece of work. Points are not awarded for individual skills. We teach students the essential criteria for a high writing SAT score.
