Pen and A Plan: A Writing Workshop for the Middle School Student

Led by Ms. Sherry Parnell: Independent Professional Writer & Editor, Master of Arts in English

Middle school age students can lose as much as 30% of their school year learning over the summer. 1 This includes a loss of critical writing skills your child needs to succeed. For the student seeking to keep up and get ahead, spending as little as 2-3 hours per week during the summer can make a big difference.

ABOVE-GRADE TUTORING understands that as a parent you want to put your child in the best position for success each new school year. That’s why we created the Writing Skills Workshop for middle school students. This unique writing program focuses on analytical and creative writing techniques. Students learn to think critically and organize their thoughts into clear, cohesive ideas. They will also learn some of the secrets professional writers use make their writing a pleasure to read: writing with elements of style. The writing skills learned in this course will be valuable throughout their middle school, high school, and college years.

Put your child in the best position to succeed. ABOVE-GRADE TUTORING is offering a 4-day writing workshop for middle school students to improve their creative and academic writing skills.
