| Goodwriters...A Course for You! Jane was one of those students who has problems with writing. First, her handwriting it was so bad that most teachers couldn't to read it. The letters were so small, that the words were extremely difficult to read. Even although she tried to change her handwriting, she felt discouraged. Secondly, she made so the many mistakes in spelling and punctuation, so that her work always gave a bad impression. As well as this, she had problems with organising her writing, in despite making plans and writing notes. One day, though, she took a Goodwriter writing course, so to learn how to be an effective writer. At Goodwriters we taught her how to organise her ideas. Although however she found it difficult at first, so she soon made progress. She learned to revise her writing, so as to improve it. She started reading so too much that her spelling improved, so while her handwriting became clearer too.
