This effective, unique instructional writing program is a process-oriented program created to improve the wrting skills of students in grades K-Adult.  It teaches basic grammar skills in isolation (not within a composition), as well as in a variety of written compositions.  Students are taught descriptive, narrative, explanatory/informational, how-to (sequence), compare and contrast, persuasive, and combination of compositions, and report writing processes.  Also, a research writing process is taught.  The Writing EdVantage shows students how to consistently achieve high writing expectations.



The Writing EdVantage  will teach your child 10 types of compositions:  Descriptive, Narrative, How-To/Sequencing, Explanatory/Informational, Compare & Contrast, Persuasive, Characterizations, Combinations of the above types, and Short Report Writing.  Also, Research Writing is also offered.

Program objectives are specific, are in writing, and are documented during each session. All documentation is recorded in a writing journal which is sent home after each session. This journal becomes a valuable resource for the future.

An integral component of our writing program is an unique webbing process that assists in the writing of introductions, body/plots, and conclusions.

Organization of thought is an important part of our instruction. Effective proven processs are shared daily.

Associative techniques are taught to help students relate background experiences while writing a story.    

Visualization techniques assist students in the elaboration of ideas.

Students are trained to use auditory senses to detect common grammatical errors, such as run-on sentences and verb tenses. 

Realizing that every student is unique, the Writing Edvantage Process uses multi-sensory techniques.  This process takes advantage of the varied learning styles of our students whether they are visual, auditory, kinesthetic, or tactile learners.
