Specific Writing Instruction

North Shore Education Coaching provides explicit writing instruction in approximately ten sessions. We begin by teaching parts of speech, which is foundational to understanding language; that then informs sentence structure, and various sentence types. Learning the constructs of simple, compound and complex sentences demystify the most common question: "Where do the commas go?" We build into paragraph structure in a formulaic manner, for if you can write one good paragraph, you can write many.  We teach a five step writing process that centers on the pre-writing process of brainstorming and organizing so that the writer creates a map before writing.
