Abstract	This article reports on the decline in writing ability skills in secondary and higher education students. The author discusses changes that have affected student writing skills over the recent decades and offers recommendations for improving these skills, such as: implementing intensive freshman writing courses; adjusting existing course requirements; and organizing instructor-student feedback. The author suggests that if institutions and instructors implement these and additional strategies they can and will help ensure that students develop and refine this important skill. (ERIC).
