What is Informational Writing

Self-regulated strategy development (SRSD) is as evidence-based writing practice and has been applied with youth in restrictive education settings to address writing issues. This chapter will describe the writing characteristics of youth in these settings, synthesize SRSD applications in persuasive/informational genres specific to this population, and discuss the measures employed. The chapter concludes with implications for research, implications for practitioners and researchers, and considerations for integrating SRSD into treatment and programming for youth in these settings. A list of SRSD contextual considerations and resources with websites is provided in the appendix section. A list of key terms, definitions, and additional readings are provided.
