Amazing things can happen when kids who don’t like to write, are afraid to write, or don’t know how to write are given a program that works! Foundation to Writing is a no-stress approach. For the first 18 weeks or more, the student doesn’t even write! To teach writing, you can’t start with actual writing. Because writing is a developmental skill, there is an entire foundation that needs to be laid before we can ask students to write sentences and paragraphs, let alone a research report!

Foundations to Writing is a program designed specifically for use in Illuminations, and is based on LearningSuccess Writing Program by Victoria Kindle Hodson, M.A. and Mariaemma Willis, M.S.
