Beginning level English writing skills include spelling and basic sentence and paragraph structure.

Learning writing is often about learning grammar.  Reading and writing English are good tools to expand your speaking skills.

The Four Steps in the Writing Process

A. Pre-writing: Think of ideas
B. Planning: Organize your ideas
C. Drafting: Write the first draft
D. Revising and Editing: Improve your writing
