What's wrong with their writing?
It's not only mechanical issues such as correctly spelling, punctuating or using grammar. Writing problems also have been observed in these areas:
- Organizing content, combining bits of information in a usefully coherent pattern,
- Content, knowledge, what to write about,
- Reasoning and thinking logically,
- Grasping questions and analyzing problems,
- Limited vocabulary reducing communication effectiveness,
- Using styles appropriate for an audience and the communication task,
- Poor related language skills such as reading and listening,
- Attitude, motivation and interest in producing written communication.
