HELPING YOUR CHILD
LEARN TO WRITE-Learning to
write is an important task of
childhood. The U. S, Department
of Education has noted, "Children
who are encouraged to draw and
scribble stories at an early age
will later learn to compose more
easily, more effectively, and with
greater confidence than children
who do not have this
encouragement."
Parents can assist their
children in acquiring writing
skills in a number of ways:
• Provide a special place for
writing and drawing which is
equipped with paper, pencils,
crayons, felt pens, envelopes,
tape and staples, so that children
can explore writing at any time.
• Provide bank forms, memo
pads, prescription pads and pads
for taking orders in restaurants
for make believe play. Make
believe play of this type will
stretch the child's imagination
and broaden their experiences.
• Help the child in writing
•letters to grandparents, sick
friends, authors of books and
famous people.
• Put little notes in lunch boxes
and back packs. These can be
picture notes or simple messages
like "Hi! I he )C you arc having a
good day. I love you!"
• Help children write and
illustrate their own books by
stapling the pages together.
• Model writing for children so
they will recognize the
importance of writing. You can
encourage this by writing them
private notes, writing letters to
family and friends (be sure to
allow the child to draw a picture
Seminole (Texas) Sentinel, Wednesday, September 5, 1990, PAGE 3
or write a letter to include),
letting them observe you writing
grocery lists or recipes.
■ • Praise children's attempts to
spell as these show they are
learning the relationship between
writing and speed). "Correct"
spelling will come later.
• Avoid criticizing neatness,
spelling or grammar. It is
important that children learn that
writing is communication and
that it is fun.
