Do you have students that just don’t want to write?
You’re not alone! In this episode of SLP Coffee Talk, we are diving into how we can help reluctant writers and the things we can do to encourage them to reach their writing goals. I sat down with Megan Polk, a literacy specialist, to get her top advice for SLPs.
