Upgrade Your Writing Series (repost)

Finally, an easy-to-use resource that helps everyday students dramatically upgrade their everyday writing! Video Aided Instruction’s Upgrade Your Writing DVD series is like a virtual writing clinic on DVD. It helps middle school students through adults (especially challenged learners requiring remediation) to express themselves more effectively; improve their command of grammar, usage, and mechanics; meet (and exceed) the requirements of their assignments; focus on their purpose and their audience; and develop a writing style that’s smooth, engaging, and truly their own!

With these unique programs, viewers will master the tricks of:

- brainstorming and getting ideas down on paper
- turning a jumble of ideas into a structured outline
- beating procrastination and treating “blinking cursor syndrome”
- writing sentences that are varied, interesting, and grammatically correct
- constructing paragraphs that hang together cohesively and are divided logically
- guiding the reader gracefully from each point to the next
- writing captivating introductions and compelling conclusions
- excelling in poetry, short stories, and other creative writing assignments
- learning new words by using roots, prefixes, suffixes, context clues, word cards, etc.
- avoiding errors in spelling, punctuation, agreement, word choice, and other areas

and much, much more!

Now students can avoid the kind of incoherent, disorganized, and error-laden writing that inspires teachers to break out the proverbial red pen: they can finally learn to articulate their ideas effectively and actually upgrade their writing!
