Writing Tips
Most of us go through this either one time or many times, our children are reluctant to write. There are children for whom writing is a dreaded task, and as a parent-we want to know how we can help!
I came across a great article, A Parent’s Role in Helping the Writing-Phobic Child by Barb Langeloh, M.A. , in which she provides helpful tips for Parents to make writing more enjoyable for their children.
Langeloh tells us that a parent’s main role in helping a reluctant writer is to encourage them! The goal is for parents to find fun and creative ways to encourage their children to write. Helping your child practice his/her letters is a great way to help with letters.
Some of the suggestions given were really creative and fun for children –
· Using interesting paper (picking out stationary, scanning child’s artwork and making personalized stationary).
· Having your child help with writing the grocery list or to-do list.
· Emailing serves as a way for your child to learn the writing process as well.
· Have family members write notes to your child (leave notes on bathroom mirror, place at table, lunch box, etc.).
· A very fun way to encourage writing is to allow your child to pick postcards while on trips and send to friends or relatives.
· To encourage your child to let his/her thoughts flow, let him/her dictate stories to you and show him how wonderful his/her ideas are!
· Use graphic organizers when your child doesn’t know how to begin a writing assignment, this will help organize their thoughts. Printable graphic organizes can be found under the resource section of www.drsusanburnett.com web site .
· Writing down the main points your child wants in a story on post-its and let him/her put them in sequence.
When your child is struggling academically, it is very important to remember to support and encourage your child! Take some time to think of the things your child enjoys doing and how you can integrate writing into those activities to alleviate frustration! If the struggle continues you may want to consider having an evaluation for dysgraphia through your school district.
