Helps students develop their paragraph writing skills.
Students learn how to write an effective paragraph -- developed
by reason, detail, sequence, example, and cause and effect.
Choosing from a menu of topics, students are guided to
develop an idea, and to write their own topic sentence,
body, and conclusion. Steps include pre-writing, writing,
organizing, revising, rewriting, and publishing.
Teachers can monitor their students' progress in the
record management system.
Designed for students in grades 5 through 10 (ages
10 and up), the software can also be used by English language
learners and adult students.
