Do you ever wonder if you are effectively teaching your children to write? I don't just mean their alphabet and name! Can they write to convey their thoughts and feelings about a particular subject? Are they able to pull all of their ideas into a paragraph? An essay? If your child wants to attend Cegep, they must be able to write effectively, among other things that I'll get into another time. I've supplied many links for Language Arts, but I've often found myself wondering if my kids have the skills necessary to attend post-secondary education. Today's links just might answer my questions!

Merit Software  created a new online edition of Paragraph Punch , Book Punch  and Essay Punch—these are tools designed to improve students' writing skills. The Punch programs guide students through the process of writing an effective paragraph or essay. Unlike most educational supplements that are either assessments or drill and practice, the Punch programs are tutorials that respond to student inputs with personalized help and tips.

These tutorials are free to try, and in my opinion, cheap to buy! But don't just take my word on it, check it out today!
