Explicit Writing Instruction
Explicit writing instruction involves directly teaching students each component of the writing process—planning, drafting, revising, and editing. This approach benefits students with specific learning disabilities by modeling clear strategies for organizing and expressing ideas. Teachers use assessment data to target individual writing deficits and provide step-by-step guidance. This method has been proven effective in improving written expression outcomes for struggling learners. I recommend this strategy because it ensures instruction is structured, systematic, and data-driven.
