Getting children to write better

6/16/2015

These ideas comes right from Scholastic's parent website. I've shortened them, but you can read the full detailed response by clicking the link at the bottom of this post. 

The parent asked a question, which I get some variation of frequently:
"What is the best way to help my 10-year-old daughter to write better and enjoy it?"

The experts suggested:

  • Have your child keep a writer's notebook, a diary, or a journal. She can keep track of important news, funny family stories, or meaningful events in family life. 
     
  • Send a letter. Encourage your daughter to share her opinions, send them as a hello and a thank you, or to discuss special times. 
      
  • Look for writing opportunities everywhere. Have her get used to writing lists and notes to serve as reminders. 
     
  • Copy text; this helps develop writing fluency. One possibility: have your daughter select, copy, and present a poem as a gift for a special occasion.
     
  • Use the computer.
