At Essentials in Writing, we understand that every child’s learning journey is unique. Some students might need a little extra support to get back on track with their literature studies. That’s where our Corrective Plans come into play. These plans act as a personalized online literature tutor, providing the necessary tools to help students catch up to grade level in a structured, stress-free manner.
You can find these Corrective Plans on our website under the “Resources” drop-down on the homepage.
How It Works:
Our Corrective Plans are crafted with ease and flexibility in mind, ensuring a smooth experience for both students and parents. Here’s how you can make the most of them:
- Select the Appropriate Level: Choose the Corrective Plan that matches your student’s current needs. These plans are designed to complement our award-winning Essentials in Literature curriculum, making it easier for students to achieve their educational goals.
- Preliminary Preparation: Before diving into the plan, it’s essential to watch the preliminary videos that explain how to use the curriculum. These can be found alongside the Curriculum Information in the Teacher Handbook. This initial step ensures a solid understanding of how to effectively implement the Corrective Plans.
- Using the Corrective Plan: Each plan is straightforward and designed to streamline your student’s study process:
- Skip Unlisted Activities: If an activity or section is not mentioned in the plan, there’s no need to complete it. This keeps the focus on the most beneficial content.
- Reader’s Notebook: Encourage your student to maintain a Reader’s Notebook or Resource Book. This can include notes on literature terms, vocabulary, figurative language, and other useful study aids. This notebook becomes a valuable resource for completing assignments and assessments.
- Read Aloud: If necessary, stories and texts can be read aloud to the student. This helps with comprehension and engagement, especially for auditory learners.
- Use Notes and Texts: Students should use their notes and the text to guide their activities, ensuring they have all the support they need at their fingertips.
- Grading Flexibility: Adjust grading criteria to reflect the individual goals of your student. This personalized approach recognizes the unique pace and progress of each learner.
- Discussion Over Writing: Suggested written responses can be completed through discussion, offering an alternative way to demonstrate understanding without the pressure of written work.
- Selective Completion: It’s not necessary to complete every activity listed in the plan. Teachers and parents can decide which activities are most beneficial and can omit others.
