Teaching elementary students to be effective writers

A new practice guide from the What Works Clearinghouse, Teaching Elementary School Students to Be Effective Writers, offers four strategies for improving elementary students' writing:

  • Provide daily time for students to write
  • Teach students to use the writing process for a variety of purposes
  • Teach students to become fluent with handwriting, spelling, sentence construction, typing, and word processing
  • Create an engaged community of writers

For each recommendation, the guide provides implementation ideas and examples, summaries of supporting research, and solutions to common roadblocks.  It is geared toward teachers, literacy coaches, and other educators who want to improve the writing of their elementary students.
