Teaching Writing: Style and Structure. 2nd ed

This powerful and inspiring seminar will transform the way you teach writing to children (and perhaps your own writing as well)! You'll learn how to incrementally teach students to write with clear structure and compelling style. Begin with the basics—rewriting a paragraph—and continue all the way into advanced creative and essay writing. Learn how to nurture excellence in writing and thinking in students of any age.

Many parents and teachers who have taken this course have expressed, “I wish I had learned this when I was in school!”

Whether your students are eager learners or reluctant writers, the award-winning Teaching Writing: Structure and Style video seminar will give you the tools you need to confidently teach your students to write well, think clearly, and express themselves eloquently and persuasively.

Teachers or teaching parents of students in grades K–12 and beyond will learn how to effectively teach their students to

• outline and summarize
