You probably know that most public schools stopped teaching kids to write (and spell) years ago. The result? Only 24% of our kids are proficient in writing. Pete and I spend most of our lives writing books and articles for Wrightslaw. The failure to teach kids to communicate by writing is a tragic loss. If you want to teach your child or your students to write, this Webinar may help. I registered for it tonight. “Science of Writing: Accelerate Literacy Development via Writing” on Wednesday, March 23, 2022 @ 2:00 p.m. (CT)https://voyagersopris.com/webinar-series/2022/… ...
