SRSD Boosts Writing Confidence
- Writing is very complex, requiring metacognition and planning among other skills.
- SRSD improves students' attitudes and beliefs about themselves as writers by addressing negative self-talk directly.
Fully Embrace SRSD Method
- Identify and build on effective writing practices you already use before adopting SRSD.
- Fully implement all six stages of SRSD, especially self-regulation; dropping parts reduces effectiveness.
Build Genre Knowledge First
- Start by building academic background and vocabulary for the genre with books and examples.
- Use poor writing examples for revision practice to understand and improve writing structure.
