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.

- 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.
