Writing With Your Child

• Show that you write often.  Make lists, take down messages, write notes to the school, write letters to friends, etc.

   

• Write to your child: put a note in a lunch bag, make a birthday poster, send a postcard from work.

   

• Encourage your child to write daily. They can scribble, draw pictures, make designs with letters, write letters, write words, or write sentences.

• Set-up an area in your house that will encourage daily writing.  Make sure the area has various writing utensils (pencils, markers, crayons, etc.) and paper.
