E-Writing helps everyone
write better and read faster.
E-Writing is the process
of breaking up language
into meaningful parts.
It is like
diagramming a sentence,
but without the rules
and fancy labels.
One thought or phrase
on each line.
Language skills will improve
without the need
to memorize terminology.
Students learn sentence parts
from trying to find
the best way
to break up a sentence.
CLASSROOM EXERCISE:
Give students
a chapter of a book
to E-Write.
They can use any
word processing software
to break up the text
according to the
E-Writing guidelines.
Test their reading speed
before and after e-writing.
Test their comprehension
before and after e-writing.
Students can trade chapters
and read each other's work.
