  • • Break writing into stages and teach students to do the same. Teach the  stages of the writing process (brainstorming, drafting, editing, and  proofreading, etc.). Consider grading these stages even on some 'one-sitting'  written exercises, so that points are awarded on a short essay for brainstorming  and a rough draft, as well as the final product. If writing is laborious, allow  the student to make some editing marks rather than recopying the whole thing. On  a computer, a student can make a rough draft, copy it, and then revise the copy,  so that both the rough draft and final product can be evaluated without extra  typing.  
    • Do not count spelling on rough drafts or one-sitting assignments.  
    • Encourage the student to use a spellchecker and to have someone else  proofread his work, too. Speaking spellcheckers are recommended, especially if  the student may not be able to recognize the correct word (headphones are  usually included).

  Many students struggle to produce neat, expressive written work, whether or not they have accompanying physical or cognitive difficulties. They may learn much less from an assignment because they must focus on writing mechanics instead of content. After spending more time on an assignment than their peers, these students understand the material less. Not surprisingly, belief in their ability to learn suffers. When the writing task is the primary barrier to learning or demonstrating knowledge, then accommodations, modifications, and remediation for these problems may be in order.
