Are your picture-smart, music-smart, and body-smart learners lagging behind their word-smart and number-smart peers?

Donovan Walling offers innovative new ways to help these learners become effective writers! With an emphasis on matching teaching method to learning style and developing both basic writing competencies and higher-level thinking skills, this resource offers instructional strategies, sample lessons, and pathways to fluency that focus on
