Introduction
Writing in English is a life skill which nobody in the twenty-first century can do without. It is much more important for prospective teachers whose future career entails a lot of writing and on whose shoulders the responsibility of teaching writing is placed.
The present thesis aimed at investigating the effectiveness of a suggested program based on individualized activities in developing Palestinian Sixth Graders' writing skills. It attempts finds out to what extent the suggested program which is based on individualized activities in developing Palestinian Sixth graders writing skills in general and in particular their graphical, grammatical and their expressive skills.
To fulfill the aims of the study, the researcher followed the descriptive analytical approach. She used two tools to collect the needed data: pre / post test, checklist and worksheets. Benefiting from the previous studies, related literature, books and internet sites, the researcher developed her program. The teaching program reviewed to five experts for benefiting from their comments in regard to any potential modifications, additions and deletions to achieve validity. Reliability was examined through doing the test, re-test and split-half methods.
The study examined the improvement shown by the experimental group, who received the suggested program for two months, while the control group didn’t receive any program and it followed the traditional teaching method.
An achievement, pre and post test were administrated and a statistical analysis was conducted to collect data.
Comparing the results of the pre- post test, it was concluded that the suggested program proved to be effective in developing pupils' achievement in three sub skills which are graphical, grammatical and expressive . This considerable gain was attributed to the impact of the program. On the other hand, the traditional method in teaching was ineffective because pupils made no progress on all levels as the statistically analysis showed.
