Writing that Makes Sense

As your child learns to write, their stories may not always make sense to others. Help their writing flow logically with these tips:

  1. Even if your child is too young to write words or sentences, they can still tell you stories. As they describe a something that happened during their school day or something funny they saw, jot down their tale. This way they practice retelling events in a logical order, which can help when they begin to put their thoughts and ideas down on paper themselves.
  2. Let your child read their stories to you. Ask questions to encourage them to add information (“What did you do with your friends at recess?”) or to clear up a confusing part (“Who said ‘Let’s go home’ – you or your brother?”)
