Writing Instruction

Institute of Excellence in writing curriculum

SpeechAbility uses the Institute of Excellence in Writing's unique approach as a basis for writing curriculum. The Student Writing Intensive is a 15 or 30 week course that will develop confidence in the writing process, while gradually guiding students toward greater independence and creativity. They will learn nine structural models to help them organize any type of composition. Additionally, stylistic techniques (strong verbs, quality adjectives, sentence openers, and more) are taught incrementally to gently move students from the basics into more sophisticated writing. This core writing program is supported by materials for reading, grammar, spelling, literature, poetry, public speaking , and more.

IEW's 9 Structural Models:

  1. Note taking,
  2. Writing paragraphs
  3. Stories
  4. Simple reports
  5. Writing from pictures
  6. Research reports
  7. Creative writing
  8. Essays
  9. Critiques​​​

What Clients Say
“Allison has been a critical part in helping my daughter learn how to read more efficiently and she is now reading above her 5th grade-level. I am so thankful for all she has done for our family.” -Amy 
 
“Not only were we able to schedule an evaluation with Mrs. Winters within 3 weeks of initially calling, she answered all of my questions so we knew exactly what to expect on the day of testing. She also set aside time for a separate 2 hour meeting for my husband and me explaining all of Nathan’s results and gave us a plan to help him with his reading!” -Nicki N.

"Mrs. Winters helped me a lot with my reading. At first I didn't like having to go see her every week after school but now I don't mind at all because I can read!" -Luke Z.
