Writing Skills for the Adolescent In "Writing Skills for the Adolescent," Mrs. King demonstrates that teachers can achieve what she sets as the goal for her students: to write clearly, lively, informative prose that exactly serves its purpose. Written with dyslexics in mind, this book serves both seasoned colleagues and newcomers to the field as a practical manual in this area of teaching. This invaluable teacher's manual provides an exact guide to teaching dyslexic students handwriting, sentences, paragraphs, essays, and spelling. While the material in this book is designed for use in the classroom or with small groups, it can be readily used by tutors. Moreover, while it is intended for adolescents, most of the exercises, especially those on paragraph structure, have been used successfully with fourth and fifth graders. It is not a workbook; the exercises are merely springboards that the teacher or tutor can use as models to develop other drills appropriate to the age and interests of the individual or group.
