Suggestions to help students with difficulties in writing. Help the student by creating a schedule to give him time to finish his work. Encourage the student to work for short periods instead of spending several hours at a time on the same job. Begin by brainstorming for the student to write their ideas on the subject. If the student has difficulty in spelling or graphomotor skills, write in his place or allow him to use a computer to check my site. Help the student to organize their ideas following the brainstorming by creating an organizational model (either a writing plan, a timeline, an outline of the project (outlines), or using a help software to the organization (like Inspiration or Spark-Space). Encourage the student to develop the ideas to be included in the work, according to the organizational model. Invite the student to begin by drafting a template from the template. Have the student revise their work on vocabulary, sentences, grammatical constructions, writing mechanics (spelling, capitalization, punctuation, paragraphs).
