They are filled with stories to tell and ideas, and they want to show the world what they see and know.
A wonderful way to support your child's writing and to refine their thinking about writing is through activities and strategies such as:
Read aloud stories
Writing with your child and "sharing the pen".
Listening to your child share their writing with you.
Early writing can be illustrations, a string of doodles and letters, or complete words and sentences.
All should be encouraged as your child moves from stage to stage in development.
Journal writing can be done at home as well as at school. You can begin with words which are found in the child's world, such as words on food labels and names of family members. Illustrations can be added to the story as well.
Children can compose their own stories inspired by their favorite books and use creativity.
Within the structure of a reading lesson, writing is a key component and is connected to the text.
One of the most valuable and enjoyable activities for the children is rereading written stories. This activity builds fluency and confidence.
Have fun sharing writing time together!
