The Writing Process
Writers like Vera use the writing process. They think up new ideas and put them down in words. They read and rework their writing until it is ready to share. This process helps Vera do her best work, and it will help you create writing that’s really worth reading!
Prewriting
- Select a topic.
- Gather ideas about the topic.
- Focus ideas and decide on main points.
Writing a Draft
- Express ideas in sentences and paragraphs.
- Organize paragraphs into a beginning, a middle, and an ending.
