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. |
|
* Narrative Writing
|
* Organization of Writing
|
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) |
