About this Talk

Enhance how you teach writing based on the latest advances in the science of writing. thinkSRSD equips students with the strategies and discrete skills (word and sentence level) needed to write independently and effectively. It demystifies what effective writing looks like and how to produce it with its comprehensive, easy to use system.

The approach is proven to work in studies that meet the most rigorous levels of research quality and outcomes. Help your students write better at the word choice, sentence formation and paragraph genre level so they can use their voice to share their messages with the world and make it better.
