Description
Fundamentals in the Sentence Writing Strategy can be used as a developmental writing curriculum or as a quick set of lessons to improve students' understanding of these concepts.

In studies, students who have learned the Sentence Writing Strategy consistently produce written products that contain 100 percent complete sentences and at least 40 percent complicated sentences.
The morning session will cover the Fundamentals and the after-noon session will cover the Proficiency in Sentence Writing. Please indicate if you will attend one or both sessions on your registration.
