Problems In Writing- General Approaches At Tier 1, 2 And 3 Flashcards
Problems on writing
Struggle most with mechanical aspects of writing (hand writing, keyboarding, spelling, etc.)
Lack of self regulatory strategies for planning and organizing there ideas for writing……
Writing
One of the most complex skills
Two key areas of competence
- Lower order transcription skills
- handwriting, keyboard and spelling - Self- regulated planning for creating, sequencing and expressing ideas through effectively composed sentence
Students with learning difficulties up and display following weaknesses:
For ability to plant execute and device written works
A tendency to spend two little time thinking before beginning to write
Difficulties formulating a goal for writing engine rating relevant idea
Inability to decide upon an appropriate structure for writing on a given topic
Slowness and an efficient in executing the mechanical aspects of writing or typing
Limited output in the available time
Teaching approaches
Traditional approaches “skills based”
More recent approach “process writing”
General approaches at tier 1
1. Writers’ workshop
- Principle “writers working together”, cooperating and providing feedback to one another
- Stages of the writing process
Pre writing, drafting, revising, and publishing - Choices of topic is usually made by the writer/ student brother than the teacher
- student begin to work in dependently
- ccess to information technology and word processing is usually appreciate
- children share the writings and feedback and advice come from teachers and from peers
General approaches at tier 1
2. Shared writing
Emerges naturally within writing workshop or can be made part of any other lesson that involves students writing for an audience
General approaches at tier 1
3. Guided writing and strategic training
- thought to be more effective in posturing students writing skills then unstructured use of process method
- students are typically thought to use self questioning and self instruction
- Aspects of writing process
(self monitoring, self checking for self
clarity, self connection) - Use of strategy such as LESSER and MORE
- L list your idea
E examine your list
S select your starting point
S sentence one will tell us what the first
idea
E expand on this first idea with another
related sentence
R read what you have written, revise if
necessary, repeat for the next
paragraph- More- reduce the problem of limited
output
- More- reduce the problem of limited
- L list your idea
General approaches at tier 1
4. Paired writing
- Working with a partner
(Peer tutoring, cross age tutoring, parent child tutorial groupings and in adult literacy classes)
Tier 2 and 3
- 2 categories (students who exhibit difficulties in writing)
- students who have learning difficulties
of a cognitive or physical nature that
impair ability to write
- reluctant and unmotivated students
who can write but do not like to so - 2 stages of writing process
- planning what to write
- revising and polishing the final product - Writing Apprehension - a state of anxiety that causes them to avoid the task of putting pen to paper or using a keyboard whenever possible
*Students speed difficulties and those lacking in confidence benefit from:
- talking through the topics first, to think
around the main theme and generate a
sequence of related ideas
- noting down some vocabulary
- drawing a graphic organizer to show
how ideas will be linked
General approaches at tier 2 and 3
1. The skeleton story
- Teacher used writing frames or templates and rubrics design to scaffold the task of composing
- Providing a few stem sentence that most be completed using the students’ own ideas and words
General approaches at tier 2 and 3
2. Patterned Writing
- The use of familiar stories with repetitive and predictable sentence pattern that can be used as a stimulus for writing and your relation on the same theme
General approaches at tier 2 and 3
3. Sentence Combining
- involves reconstructing of several symbol sentences into a more interesting sentence
General approaches at tier 2 and 3
4. Story Web
- It is a form of graphic organizer that provides writers with a starting point for generating ideas for writing
Setting. Character
Title
Problem. Solution
General approaches at tier 2 and 3
5. Expanding an idea
- Informative or narrative writing can be expanded beyond simple statement
Procedures
- Begin by writing a short declarative sentence
- Write two or three sentences that add information to and are connected with the first sentence. Leave a space between each sentence
- Write more sentences in the spaces
- Edit the sentences into appropriate paragraph and combined same short statement into longer complex sentences
