Help Mrs. A.

This proposal is to help my students of various grade levels with Learning Disabilities and other disabilities to become enthusiastic about writing and to motivate them to create personal writing pieces. The students that I teach, have learning disabilities and many are also English language learners. Most of them have difficulty writing down their ideas, or once their ideas are written in pre-written format they have difficulties with editing their writing, due to their low skills with writing cohesively, spelling and grammar. These students get frustrated with having to re-write their work a few times and get tired of writing in order to make it better. Their frustration levels become increased and many therefore quit, and or won't even try to begin or to have finished writing products that they can be proud of. I believe that with the use of a computer and its editing,and writing programs my students will become motivated writers and authors. It would be so much easier for them to focus on expressing their ideas rather than having to write. They will be able to use the scanner/printer to scan their own drawings and/or pictures into their writing and to print out their work that they have worked hard to complete. The use of computers will lessen their frustration levels and increase their motivation. They will finally have finished products such as poems, songs, and even short stories (books) that they will be proud to display and share with others. Please consider in helping to motivate and create young authors with disabilities that can be proud of creating and completing writing projects.
