Why learn to write? Writing is hard. Teaching writing devours large chunks of classroom time
in every grade. Blocks of time each day are devoted to spelling, to grammar, to vocabulary, and
to other mechanical aspects of writing. Precious little time can be squeezed from the remains of
each day’s mandates to work on teaching students how to effectively and powerfully communicate
when they write. That is, to plan, draft, evaluate, revise, and edit whatever content they
want to (or have been assigned to) write. It is a legitimate question to ask: why bother? Why
dedicate so much time to writing?
Learning to write should never be viewed as an end goal in and of itself. Rather, writing is a
means to a goal (effective communication). “Writing” doesn’t mean “learn the symbols and
write them down.” It means “convince, persuade, inspire, entertain, and teach through your
writing as effectively as you would through conversation if you and the reader sat next to each
other on the sofa.” This app provides a variety of tested writing activities that can guide students
to that level of writing competency.
Improve your English writing skill. A better writing will help you with your grades, written communications, form good impressions to the readers. Writing may differ from school, college, job, casual, official and much more.

WRITING TIPS
I notice people driving into the same writing potholes and detouring down the same dead ends everywhere.
Time after time, I notice that students stumble in the same writing spots and because of the
same misconceptions.
I have distilled a “baker’s dozen” writing road signs designed to help you and your students
avoid those pesky writing traps into a series of TIPS. They will serve you and your students
well. Recite them; chant them; write them on the wall. It would be wonderful if all 13 tips
