Essay Express: A Writing Intervention Software

method=get&s=essay-express-boxshotAnother article is up on the Yellin Center Blog! You might remember that last fall I reviewed FableVision Learning‘s Animation-ish program.  While during my exploration of Animation-ish, I stumbled across a few other awesome resources that FableVision has created.  One of which is an amazing tool for learning how to structure an effective essay called, Essay Express. Crafting an essay requires multiple abilities including, spelling, understanding of grammar and sentence structure, master of written conventions, understanding of semantics etc.  It is an area of writing that many students (all the way into their college years) struggle with and takes time to truly master.  Often students come into the clinic having some of the key abilities in places but weaknesses in others.  Essay Express is an exceptional tool that helps strength a students strengths and fill in any gaps they may have in the writing process in order to teach them how to devise strong written output.

So head over to the blog to read my review, the research that went into creating the program and the amazing aspects of this software that will make it beneficial for both home and school use.
