Abstract:

Children with learning disability usually have some errors in their written expression. These mistakes originate from their difficulties on the writing process. Writing process is consists of five stages, these are; prewriting, writing/drafting, revising, publishing and sharing with the audience. Learning disabled children show a lot of struggles all of this stages. Prewriting has probably been the most neglected stage in the writing process. Writer must choose a topic, consider purpose, form, audience, and generate and organize ideas for writing in the prewriting stage. Writers note their ideas on the paper in the second stage of the writing process. Activities in this stage are; writing a rough draft, writing leads, emphasizing content not mechanics. Revising may be done more than one time and may be done different kinds of corrections at every time. Activities in the revising stage are; rereading the rough draft, sharing the rough draft in a writing group, revising on the basis of feedback received from the writing group. Editing is putting the piece of writing into its final form. Until this stage, the focus has been primarily on the content of students writing. Once the focus changes to mechanics, student polishes their writing by correcting spelling and other mechanical error. In the final stage of the writing process, students publish their writing and share it with an appropriate audience. Key words: Learning disabled children, writing process, revising, editing
