GED® Academy Writing
The GED Academy writing course is designed to teach fundamental concepts of written communication for ABE, pre-GED, and GED students. Though the GED Academy teaches technical basics such as spelling, grammar, and punctuation, the focus of lessons is on the ability to communicate clearly and effectively. Students learn real-life applications for writing, in the home and in the workplace.
In the writing course, students learn the purpose of standardized spelling, grammar, and punctuation, and how language skills make everyday tasks easier. Students learn skills for organizing their writing, and also learn about how to write and self-evaluate an effective essay. The skills students acquire will prepare them for jobs or higher education.

Organization
Organization is a tool of communication, not an arbitrary imposed structure. The GED Academy writing course teaches organization of sentences, paragraphs, and complete work. Students learn to effectively communicate through developing and supporting a main idea, and organizing work in a natural way that includes a beginning, middle, and end.
Sentence Structure
The GED Academy course covers basic and advanced sentence structure. Students learn to identify and understand the function of subjects and verbs. Students learn about phrases and clauses, run-on sentences and sentence fragments, modification, parallelism, and coordinate and subordinate clauses. The focus of lessons is on clear communication.
Usage and Mechanics
Usage lessons cover verb tense and subject-verb agreement, as well as clear use of pronouns and referents. Beyond mere language rules, students learn to improve their writing through avoiding cliches and awkward wordings, as well as avoiding confusing shifts in point of view. Language mechanics covers basics that students should be familiar with to communicate clearly and professionally, including spelling, capitalization, and punctuation.
