Your children thrive on heartfelt praise and recognition from you. Let them know you value and enjoy their writing.
You see their writing as creative, ingenious and inspired. Their words are worth hanging on your walls.
Provide a place. It's important for a child to have a good place to write--a desk or table with a smooth, flat surface and good lighting.
Have the materials. Provide plenty of paper--lined and unlined--and things to write with, including pencils, pens, and crayon
Think time. Help your child spend time thinking about a writing project or exercise. Good writers do a great deal of thinking.
Give them meaningful projects. While they are warming up to the idea of writing they could write a letter to a relative or friends.
Respond. Do respond to the ideas your child expresses verbally or in writing. Make it clear that you are interested in the true function of writing which is to convey ideas.
Please Praise. Take a positive approach and say something good about your child's writing.
Create a family word gallery by hanging their best poems, or stories; or placing them in a scrapbook on your coffee table
