Starter Creative Writing Courses for Children

Fri, 22 Apr 2011 20:47:02 +0000

A student is never too young to begin to understand the power of words. A student who can speak is old enough to begin to effectively use language to express himself and shape his world. This is the actual task of our Starter Creative Writing Courses at www.connectthethoughts.net – The student does NOT work on syntax, sentence construction, or any technical elements of language or writing (including spelling). Instead, at this young age, he explores through carefully constructed exercises and lesson plans, the way words shape and effect our actions and understandings. These exercises are fun, and the “stories” or descriptions created by the student are dictated by the student, and written or typed by the teacher. (If your student is already able to write, they can certainly write down their exercises for themselves.)
