How Students Can Improve Their Writing Skills

Published on Apr 02, 2021

*Have you seen anything like this before? For the third time during the writing block, a student gets up from his desk (again!) and goes to get a soda. Another student sits quietly at her desk, beginning to write on a blank piece of paper (trying to fly under the radar). And there's the student who claims to have completed the writing task, but it's obviously unfinished and disorganised. Does this ring a bell? All of these indicators point to failing writers.*

There are several techniques you can incorporate into your writing instruction to better motivate your struggling authors with a little scaffolding and support. Try the following scaffolding tips when students are having trouble coming up with ideas about what to write about:

1. Share your ideas before writing

Until writing, students orally exchange ideas (with a friend, as a group, or even record ideas using a technology device) to get their creative juices flowing. Students who are having trouble coming up with their own ideas may be motivated by the ideas of their peers. Allowing students to express their thoughts often helps to solidify and ground the concept so that it does not become lost.

2. Write in a collaborative manner

This is a chance for the entire class to participate. Instead of making students begin writing on their own, make them first collaborate as a team. To create a shared writing sample, have different students share their ideas. This shows how to tackle the assignment and offers them suggestions about what to write about for struggling authors.

3. Modelling and directed writing by the teacher

Display models to your students before they begin a writing assignment (either teacher created, or exemplar student examples from the past). Additionally, if you're making a student write a hook, demonstrate how you'd write one to the class. This shows to struggling authors how they can tackle the same situation by thinking aloud. This is an excellent opportunity to inspire students to share their work. This also helps students who are stuck come up with new ideas.

4. Provide writing tools to the students

Students would have a resource to help them with their writing if they are given a writing toolbox. For example, offer students a list of transitional words and phrases to use in the writing they're working on. Alternatively, provide students with a list of Dead Words to avoid in their writing as well as a list of alternative words to use instead. Giving students a resource to use when writing can assist them in resolving their writing difficulties.

Conclusion

Simply cause your readers to feel something. People long for show – so feed it to them like chocolate. Portals like Askmeoffers uses content marketers to promote their contents over social channels to boost their website traffic. In case you need more idea, I recommend to search over YouTube for some nice channels which provide knowledge on effective content writing.

The most ideal approach to do equity to composing is to cherish it. When you begin getting a charge out of the way toward composing, words will easily fall into place for you and you'll anticipate composing each day.
