Strategies to Get Reluctant Writers Writing (and Comprehending Better, Too!)

Have you faced a child who hates to write? Maybe she fits a pattern typical of dyslexia, but maybe not. Some students read fine, spell well and get grammar, but blanch when you ask them to write. For some kids, nothing is scarier than an open-ended writing assignment. Still others write the bare necessity but do anything to avoid filling in details. In this presentation, Diana will explore different profiles of reluctant writers and offer hands-on, easy-to-implement, fun ways to get those reluctant writers writing.

  • Association of Educational Therapists, April 19, 2016
