Free help for busy writing teachers

four pencils

Writing Points is a free ezine for busy English teachers and their homeschooling peers.

  • No jargon.

  • No page-long paragraphs.

  • No ivory-tower dissertations.

It's the straight skinny from one writing teacher to another. Each issue:

  • Focuses on teaching essentials.

  • Offers ways to make writing assignments multitask.

  • Gives tips for students with learning difficulties.

  • Shows you how to teach for higher-level learning.

  • Recommends resources.

You can see to expect in the ezine by checking back issues in the archive.

After you have comfirmed your subscription, you may choose a thank-you gift from this selection of all the resources available only to Writing Points subscribers. Note, please, the downloads are for your use only; it is illegal to provide copies to any other person.

On the 15th of each month you'll get a note in your in-box giving you a link to the ezine.

I know it's a bit of a nuisance having to leave your inbox to read the news, but the broken links that showed up in the email version of the newsletter drove subscribers crazy. And the website version looks a lot nicer, too.
