I love writing.
It’s one reason I decided to become an English teacher years ago. Watching my students’ imaginations take flight in their creative writing projects was one of my favorite parts of the job.
Now, as a homeschool mom to two early writers, I love to find ways to teach kids to love writing.
Teach Kids to Love Writing
Writing is such an important skill for children to learn.
Whether you are filling out a form, writing a report for work or school, or sending an email to a friend, writing is a part of our daily lives.
Writing can also be an important outlet to help process and express feelings that may be difficult to do by speaking.
That’s why I am so excited to be a part of a wonderful new book, full of ideas to help your child improve their own writing skills as well as their self-confidence and compassion for others.
Make Your Mark, brings you 30+ projects that will help your child develop a love of writing, creative storytelling, self-confidence and compassion. Through play, art, language, and writing this book will help your child discover their self, and make their mark on the world.
Make Your Mark is perfect for toddlers through kids in the elementary school years. It has activities that will help develop fine motor skills needed as they first start writing, and it has fun creative writing ideas for older kids as well.
What you’ll get in this e-book:
- Activities to get your child started with the important basics. Kids will develop skills to literally make their mark, first with fingers, and later with pens, pencils and paint brushes.
- Fun ideas that will help your child develop their fine motor strength and dexterity. We have ideas for finger gyms, easel activities and first mark making activities with sticks, play dough and shaving foam.
- Inspiration for writing trays. These encourage children to use all their senses to build skills.
- Great ideas to delight in imagination and storytelling. It’s play time, not school work. Your child will develop their language, vocabulary and fluency through story mats, small worlds, comics, journals, role play, outdoor adventures, and art.
- Activities that support your child in understanding themself and others. There are several interviews, self-portraits, collaborative art, and collaborative projects.
- And finally we help your child see that everyone can make their mark on their community and the environment. We show you how to extend the idea of our self out into the world, and consider how we are part of a community. With accessible and achievable projects, we’ll inspire your child to make their mark through environmental citizenship and acts of kindness.
- Also included: six sets of printables for you to download. These include: pattern writing cards, a “my favourite things” photo book, “all about me” nterview sheets, pretend play post office accessories, and comic book and gracious giving printables.
