Dear fellow teachers
The earlier your students get access to this
interactive programme, the lighter your workload
will be! You will find Better Writing: Better
Grades™ explains all the basics of grammar
and punctuation clearly, with instant feedback, plenty
of practice, and built-in tests.
Better Writing: Better Grades™ underpins and
supports the writing your students are required to
do in English, and across the wider curriculum.
In the English curriculum, it covers the
requirements for editing and punctuation in
the English Language Learning Progressions,
Writing Matrix (MoE) and matches the sentence
structure and punctuation sections of the TEC
Learning Progressions Write to Communicate Language
and Text Features: "...be able to use basic grammar
and punctuation to construct short, simple sentences
and compound sentences; use punctuation effectively
to show where sentences begin and end; know and use
the basic features of some common text types and
visual text forms; use effective sentence structures
and more complex punctuation to write more complex
sentences with detail and elaboration."
The programme's Diagnostic Test is also a useful
tool for assessing specific areas of grammar
and punctuation that need attention. The Graduation
Test at the end of the programme provides a ready-made
assessment for a student's mastery of the
programme. Printable student learning logs are
included on the CD.
Students like the programme for several
reasons: they say it's fun (their first response!),
it's easy to use, it improves their confidence which
also reduces their stress levels, saves them time,
and improves their marks immediately.
Teachers like
it because it integrates technology into the teaching
and learning of writing, and offers support for teaching
and other classroom issues. They like its comprehensive
coverage, and the fact that it can be used either
as self-directed study (the answers are embedded
in the programme) as well as for their own grammar
and punctuation lessons in NCEA. And, of course,
they like its professional reliability: the fact
that it has been thoroughly researched and trialled.
