The Writing Tutor Promotes Reading with Online Literature Circles; Newest Discussion Topic is Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling


(PRLEAP.COM) The release of the most recent book in the Harry Potter series is the perfect opportunity for educators to push reading since so many children (and adults) love the series. To encourage reading and literary discussion, The Readers’ Corner Book Club has posted the question: “What did you think of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince?” For a little added fun, The Writing Tutor has also included a survey asking people how quickly they read the book.

The Writing Tutor Promotes Writing with a Special Summer Edition of The Young Authors Writing Contest


(PRLEAP.COM) The special summer edition of The Writing Tutor’s Young Authors Writing Contest is open to students who will be entering grades 5 through 12 in the fall of 2005. The DEADLINE for submitting an entry to the summer writing contest is August 30, 2005. All entries must be received no later than 10:00 p.m. CST on this date. Entries received after this deadline will not be considered.

The Writing Tutor Embraces RSS Technology to Simplify Information Gathering for Teachers and Students


(PRLEAP.COM) Teachers and students spend most of the school year hectically running from one responsibility to the next. Anything that simplifies life is a welcome respite. The Writing Tutor seeks to help teachers and students find those few shining moments of relief by providing two time saving ways to gather information. Both methods are tied to RSS technology.

The Writing Tutor Steps up to Get American Students Back on the “Write” Track


(PRLEAP.COM) The ability of American students to write well has declined rapidly in recent years. As schools are forced to add more and more content to their curricula, teachers have little choice but to neglect the basics that produce good writers. The Writing Tutor is designed to help students, teachers, and parents get back on the WRITE track.
