Writing Strategies

Writing is an important way for us to communicate our thoughts and feelings.  Therefore, students need to learn how to write.

How do we help students become better writers?

• Set up a writing journal/diary for daily writing sessions
• Make a LIST of interesting topics or ideas to write
• Draw a picture first and write a caption
• Keep a WORD BANK of interesting words or unknown words
• When writing, think about who, where, what, and why

***It is essential that your child write daily and to see you write (grocery lists, letters, notes, "To Do" lists).
