Written Language Expression

Written language expression includes writing mechanics, which involves using appropriate punctuation, capitalization. Children who are able to use these skills have an easier time expressing themselves through writing.

Children who may need help in this area may show difficulty writing essays and stories that have a beginning and end, include appropriate and descriptive story-grammar elements, or follow a logical sequence.
