Composition

While there are countless benefits to having strong writing skills, the benefit of teaching students these skills from an early age are mostly on academic success across the curriculum.

 

Increased writing instruction that focuses not merely on penmanship, but on writing strategies, planning, and organization, can benefit students for the rest of their lives. Even prior to this, increased confidence with writing skills can help students to be more effective in communicating their understanding of core curriculum and learning standards, allowing students to better demonstrate their knowledge across the curriculum and to express their concerns and questions in a way to help further their personal understanding. 

 

Composition and writing are essential tools in literacy, education, and most importantly communication. Composition and writing allow students to convey ideas, feelings, emotions, opinions, arguments, and many other forms of communication.
