Dear Families, 

Writing lets children express their thoughts, creativity, and understanding.  Writing allows children to organize their ideas.  Writing helps children become better readers, too. Here are some suggestions for Writing at Home.  

Some tips for families:

1. Stay positive. Encourage your writer.
2. Let your child be creative.
3. Encourage your writer and their efforts.

“Look for what your child can do and is trying to do. Reading and writing are complex processes; encourage your child’s efforts”
