Striving to Improve: Writing

Writing activities for students aged 11-15 years.

The Striving to Improve books target students who are struggling to keep up with their peers, whether because of learning difficulties such as ADHD or dyslexia, or because of social factors which have resulted in them missing a lot of school. The activities  have been broken down into small parts, giving each student the opportunity to process one idea at a time. Students can work at their own pace and without constant teacher supervision, and begin to write more clearly, accurately and confidently.
