Writing begins with invented spellings, patterns discovered in literature, writing for many purposes, and writing to understand and to extend experiences.

Each day the girls have the opportunity to engage in the writing workshop approach, which includes brainstorming ideas, creating a rough draft, editing the draft with the help of peers and teachers, and finalizing the piece. This process is used with all types of writing. Personal journal writing gives the girls practice in expressing themselves. Our Word Study Program (Forms I-V) builds knowledge of spelling through understanding of sounds, syllables, patterns, and parts of speech. It begins with sounds in Form I and ends with word derivations in Form V.
