My favorite "from the ground up" writing program is "When They Can't Write" by CHarlotte MOrgan (http://www.proedinc.com/store/index.php?mode=product_detail&id=12057 ) 

It starts with subject/predicate sentences... no, it starts with what's a noun and what's a verb, tho' it's very example oriented as opposed to "do you remember what this is called?" oriented.  Students learn different sentence structures and get lots of practice that's reasonably creative.

Hello,

 

I am looking for resource materials for one of our teachers.  She is working
with a deaf student who uses American Sign Language to communicate.  As you
may know this language is different in that they do not communicate in full
sentences as we know it.  So the challenge for the instructor is to teach
the student to write in complete sentences.  Please let me know of any
materials you have used that might make this process easier.

 

Thank you!
