Tutor Ready Writing Videos | California Library Literacy Services

This collection of videos was produced by the Sacramento Public Library and Alameda Reads, the adult literacy program of the Alameda Free Library. They were made possible in part by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act, administered in California by the State Librarian.

TUTOR READY WRITING VIDEOS

The videos are based on research that focuses on the writing process, pre-writing, getting ideas on the page, writing for everyday purposes, working on mechanics like grammar and spelling, responding to writing, editing, revising, assessing writing progress, and using learner-generated texts with English language learners.
