One-on-One Writing Workshops
LATE ELEMENTARY
Adding More Detail
A 3 session class for 4th and 5th graders who need more explicit instruction in elaboration
Does your child fixate on “how many sentences” they have to write? Or write the bare minimum despite having plenty more to say? In this class, students will learn how to elaborate on their ideas without feeling like they’re writing more. Beth will show them ways to “plan and expand” before they write so they can meet that 5-7 sentence minimum in less time and with less stress… for both of you!
Literary Analysis Workshop
A 3-session class for 6th-8th graders who need more explicit instruction on how to write about reading
The words every student dreads: Say more about this. What more is there to say?? A LOT… but they need to be taught how. In this class, students will be shown how to complete each step in effective argumentation— from writing a strong claim to actually analyzing their evidence (not just restating it). Your child will produce more accurate writing faster and learn strategies they can apply all year long, no matter what they’re reading!
