THE TASK WRITING PROGRAM

Dear Parents/Guardians,
​
The TASK Writing Program creates an environment in which children take the brave risk of putting themselves on the page and working on writing projects that matter to them. Our program is designed to build the critical writing skills that will help your child express who they are as individuals and communicate one's thoughts in an organized, structured, and detail-rich manner.
Writing, Revision, Feedback and Authors as Mentors are the FOUR PILLARS of our writing program. TASK to Success ensures that your child learns every building block of writing through a series of mini lessons, shared instruction, guided practice and independent practice. You choose how many lessons and how many home practice tasks per week you want your child to complete. Your child will work at his or her own pace, learning each new writing skill before moving on. With each lesson, combined with home practice; your child’s overall writing skills will advance incrementally. Many TASK families ultimately find their children learning skills that put them ahead of their peers.

WE ARE READY TO HELP YOUR CHILD REDUCE THE STRESS THAT OFTEN COMES WITH WRITING & TAKE OWNERSHIP OF THEIR WORK THROUGH CHOICE!

HOW DOES THE WRITING PROGRAM WORK?

WE PINPOINT THE ROOT OF YOUR CHILD'S STRUGGLES IN WRITING AND START THERE

* Our Writing Program acknowledges that a child's struggle likely stems from having missed earlier, foundational writing skills. 
* At TASK, we go back to the basics to ensure that these foundational skills in writing are learned, before moving forward to grade level skills and beyond.

YOUR CHILD WILL COMPLETE AN WRITING ASSESSMENT TEST TO MEASURE GROWTH & SUCCESS OVER TIME

* It's crucial that any gaps in understanding be learned first, so your child can better demonstrate more advanced writing skills.
* Our writing assessment measures the three big skills of writing (structure, development, language conventions).
* Our writing assessment is aligned with our "Writing Strategy Continuum of Learning". Once your child's assessment is complete, your TASK teacher will be able to pinpoint exactly which strategies to start with on the continuum of learning.

WHAT POSSIBLE SKILLS WILL OUR WRITING ASSESSMENT MEASURE?

* Narrative Writing 
* Information Writing
* Opinion/Argument Writing
* Overall Structure of Writing
* Leads, Introductions, Beginnings
* Transition Use
​* Endings, Closures, Conclusions

* Organization of Writing
* Elaboration and Precise Details
​* Craft, Word Choice, Tone
* Spelling
* Punctuation
​* Grammar Use

WE USE STRATEGY BASED LESSONS THAT ARE ALIGNED TO THE WRITING CONTINUUM OF LEARNING 

* We come along side the work being done in the classroom. When your child struggles with a writing concept, we identify the foundational strategies on the "Writing Strategy Continuum of Learning" that will support the skill they need to be successful in school. Then we gradually move your child up towards grade level skills and beyond.

WE USE A GRADUAL RELEASE OF RESPONSIBILITY APPROACH TO BECOME A STRONGER WRITER

* With our Gradual Release of Responsibility approach, we help your child become an independent, self-motivated learner. (Look at the diagram to the right to see how it works!)
1) Writing Mini Lesson (TASK teacher teaches-models-thinks aloud and engages your child to understand the writing strategy)
2) Shared Instruction (Your child and TASK teacher practice the writing strategy together)
3) Guided Practice (Your child practices the writing strategy while the TASK teacher coaches and guides)
4) Independent Practice (Your child practices the writing strategy by themselves)

HOW DOES THE WRITING PROGRAM WORK
​DAY TO DAY?

TASK fits any busy schedule.

Even if your children attend extracurricular activities like sports or music, they'll have time for TASK. You choose how many days per week they meet with their teacher either in-person or online. The other days, Practice TASKS are done at home.

It's EASY as 1, 2, 3...

Choose 1-3 writing lessons per week with a TASK Teacher

Your TASK Teacher sends you lesson reviews to communicate writing progress

Your child completes Writing Practice TASKS at Home

WHAT TYPES OF WRITING PRACTICE TASKS WILL YOUR CHILD DO AT HOME?

Writing Their Own Stories

Revising Their Work

YOU CHOOSE WHAT'S BEST FOR ​YOUR CHILD!

CHOICE #1: IN-PERSON OR ONLINE LEARNING IS AVAILABLE

You can decide the best method of instruction that you will best fit your child’s learning needs. For In-Person Learning, we currently serve the Sun Prairie & Madison Wisconsin area. For Online Learning, we serve the entire United States.

CHOICE #2: PRIVATE OR SEMI-PRIVATE LEARNING

​We offer private and semi private tutoring sessions for your child. By selecting private learning, your child will receive 1-1 individualized and personalized support from one of our skilled, professional tutors. The benefit of this option is they will be the only student in our tutoring classroom. When you select semi-private learning, your child will join 2-3 students who have similar learning goals and preferably the same grade level. The benefit to this option is it allows for bonding between students, partnership/group learning activities, and deeper level conversations about reading, math, and writing. You get to choose the best learning environment for your child.

CHOICE #3: NUMBER OF LESSONS PER WEEK

​Your child can meet with a TASK teacher 1-3 days per week. The choice is yours!

CHOICE #4: NUMBER OF HOME PRACTICE TASKS PER WEEK

Remember a "TASK a Day, Keeps the Bad Grades Away!" Your child will learn each skill before moving on to the next incrementally more challenging skill. With our Home Practice TASKS your child will consistently practice the strategies when they are away from their TASK teacher; which is the key to success. You get to decide how many Home Practice TASKS you want your child to complete each week. 

1 LESSON/WEEK
YOU CAN CHOOSE:
​3-6 TASKS

2 LESSONS/WEEK
YOU CAN CHOOSE:
​2-5 TASKS

YOU CAN CHOOSE:
