Supporting Writing Goals

ReadWriteThink, a project of the International Reading Association, National Council of Teachers of English and the Verizon Foundation is a writing web resource can be used by educators, students and parents. This user-friendly site provides a multitude of resources that can be used to further the writing goals of a student with special needs as well as general education students from grades K-12. This Website provides classroom resources, professional development, videos and parent afterschool activities. It is set up with units, lessons and mini lessons that are easily accessible. There are also printables available and from what I can determine there is no charge for it. One writing tool that I came upon was the use of a Venn diagram. The student is provided with an interactive template that can be saved or printed. I also found a video section that discussed different ways to select books for in order to achieve certain benchmarks. This site will definitely be saved to my desktop.
