Launching Young Writers
4/30/2024 | 1m 4sVideo has Closed Captions
It's never too early to encourage kids to write their own stories.
If your child begins telling you a story, encouraging them to write it down could activate an early interest in writing and creative storytelling. Seeing their older siblings writing may motivate younger kids to do the same. Additionally, writing can be a great way to express feelings and it is gratifying for young writers to see their own words and illustrations in a book.
