My fourth graders continue to struggle writing TDAs (text dependent analysis). Do you have any tips to share? If I say TDA, there are groans around the room.

How do you teach students in grades K-2 on how to explain their work? I give my students sentence stems with the words first, next, then, and last. I also teach sequencing to help keep my students organized.

Do you have students in your classroom who have difficulty staying on the lines when writing? You can buy spiral notebooks that have every other line highlighted in blue or you can easily create your own: https://pin.it/7JnnPXr1Q

What strategies could be used to support an upper elementary student with a learning disability and speech language impairment in constructing grammatically correct sentences. Often, for these students on my caseload, I find that they struggle to apply conventions when writing down their ideas. Run-on sentences (or even just seemingly jumbled words) are frequent!

How do you get 2nd graders interested in writing? I like to use pictures and have students write down what they see. I also like to use story starters.
