1-to-1 Teaching to Enhance Written Expression Skills
Helping your child develop strong writing skills now not only enhances their current academic achievement, but also their future educational success.
Often students have a wealth of ideas but have difficulty expressing themselves in written form. RRLS writing programs, including Power Writing, break the writing process into systematic and manageable pieces thereby reducing anxiety and increasing writing confidence.

How Does RRLS Teach Writing Mastery?
Each aspect of the writing process is taught to mastery before moving on to the next stage. Students have ample time to practice each concept while receiving constructive and guiding feedback from our learning specialists. Our writing program, based on Power Writing concepts, supports and enhances what students have learned, consolidates their knowledge, and adds new understanding, so that students gradually, yet steadily, improve their written communication skills.
RRLS learning specialists are trained to provide a differentiated program of instruction for each student. We use a systematic approach to create a unique curriculum that breaks down what can be seen by some students as an overwhelming process, into manageable pieces.
