Writing Conventions
Writing conventions such as spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and grammar may take some work to learn, but the rewards are great. These conventions make a student’s essay clear and understandable, demonstrating the care and thoughtfulness of the writer. When the reader never has to stop to try to figure out just what was actually intended, the value of learning these writing conventions becomes clear.
Time4Writing’s free writing resources cover the writing conventions. The games, printables, and presentation supplement Time4Writing’s online courses. Designed to help students improve their writing skills, regardless of academic grade or proficiency level, Time4Writing’s 8-week courses provide more in-depth practice and one-on-one instruction by a certified teacher.
