Spelling, punctuation, word choice, organization, handwriting -- there are so many things to remember that the task can be overwhelming. "How to Help Struggling Writers: Classroom Accommodations" by Regina Richards, educational therapist & expert on language learning disabilities, offers a variety of classroom accommodations to make the writing process easier for struggling students & their teachers. http://weta.convio.net/site/R?i=fQEgHTOgzXk9JyBsTYeEBA.. See Writing & Spelling section for more information on dysgraphia & other writing difficulties. http://weta.convio.net/site/R?i=ZQEhnIbnnNY8u-aD7PofiA..

The whole language movement of the 1980s and 1990s certainly shares some of the blame as to why our students struggle in their writing. I found a short blog on this at http://penningtonpublishing.com/blog/writing/why-johnny-cant-write/
