Resources for students who struggle with writing

I just posted some excellent links to sites all about grammar. Two of these sites, Grammar Quiz and Guide to Grammar and Writing, could be especially helpful to ESL students who may struggle with verb agreement, sentence structure, and other common issues. Dyslexia College is a website designed specifically for college students who have dyslexia and dysgraphia. It breaks down the writing process into smaller steps and suggests some techniques that may work well for dyslexic students. If you have ESL students or dyslexic students in your classroom, let them know about these sites. They may make the college experience much less frustrating for students who typically struggle with writing.
