How to Encourage Your Child to Write

With writing becoming the main form to communicate, now is the perfect time to instill the importance of not only writing, but good writing, in your child. In this post, The Tutoring Center, Wichita has two easy to implement ideas on how you can encourage your child to write.

Create the Right Environment for Your Child to Write

One of the many benefits of writing is that you need only a pen and something to write on. But this doesn’t mean that your child needs to sit at a desk and write. Create a personal and inspirational space for your child to write and give them all the tools they need including a range of writing and drawing materials, should they want to illustrate their next Best Seller!

How to support your child’s writing

Children look to you for approval for everything they do, and writing is no exception. Read your child’s writing and show active and clear enjoyment and excitement as you do. As they start to write, ignore grammar and spelling mistakes and focus on the stories that they are attempting to express. Seeing your face light up as you read their story will encourage them to continue writing and refine their writing and vocabulary skills.
