E-Writing helps everyone write better and read faster. E-Writing is the process of breaking up language into meaningful parts. It is like diagramming a sentence, but without the rules and fancy labels. One thought or phrase on each line. Language skills will improve without the need to memorize terminology. Students learn sentence parts from trying to find the best way to break up a sentence. CLASSROOM EXERCISE: Give students a chapter of a book to E-Write. They can use any word processing software to break up the text according to the E-Writing guidelines. Test their reading speed before and after e-writing. Test their comprehension before and after e-writing. Students can trade chapters and read each other's work. |
