Description
This guidebook provides educators with an approach to improving language and writing skills for all students. The writing lab approach uses computer-supported activities to encourage student progress in each stage of the writing process, from organizing to editing. The text focuses on three key components - writing process instruction, computer supports, and inclusive practices, and gives a primer on how children develop proficiency with language, a complete guide to setting up a writing lab, a discussion of software features and programmes, instructions on using scaffolding to respond to individual needs, and an assessment tool the authors developed to analyze student writing samples.
