Expressive Writing 1–2 Skill Development

Expressive Writing 1–2 focuses on essential writing concepts and skills across four instructional strands: Sentence Writing, Paragraph Writing, Story Writing, and Editing.

Each program level covers a set of specific skills. The skills are reinforced across different lessons as students advance in the program.

Expressive Writing 1 focuses on these foundational skills:

  • Constructing proper sentences with correct punctuation and capitalisation.
  • Writing focused paragraphs that do not deviate from a topic.
  • Editing others’ work and the writer’s own words.

Expressive Writing 2 builds on the skills learned in level 1:

  • Writing clearly with appropriate pronouns, diverse, structures, verb tense, capitalisation, and punctuation.
  • Constructing a variety of sentences.
  • Storytelling that involves dialogue writing.
  • Self-editing for clarity, punctuation, paragraphs, and sentence variety.
