Learning to Write

There are many approaches to learning to write but let me discuss a few here. The Writers Workshop, pioneered at NY Colleges, is real popular. The idea is that there's a little mini lesson and then, wahoo, lets each write.  It's about writing.
Lucy Caukins is often the prof most associated with taking WW into the K12 population.  The most popular current effective implementation of Writers Workshop is WritingCity.

Settings for Handwriting Practice

Anotehr approach is for students to take single courses where they get minilessons and then practice specific isolated skills. Works for many kids. For this, use Time4Writing! here are some great materials from Time4Writing;

• Grammar  Sentence Structure   Paragraph Writing   Essay Writing  Narrative Writing   Informative Writing
• 
  
• However, the most popular way by volume for writing is VocabularySpellingCity's Sentence Writing Practice . It used literally by hundreds of thousands of kids every year. Almost as popular for Writing Practice for Elementary Students is the Paragraph Writing Practice,

Lastly, do not forget that there is an important role for handwriting worksheets to practice developing handwriting skills, particularly in early elementary.
