Encourage opportunities for writing such as letters to family or friends, shopping lists, notes or reminders, stories and poems.
Write together – be a good role model for writing.
Encourage use of a dictionary to check spelling and a thesaurus to find synonyms and expand vocabulary.
Allow your child to use a computer for word processing, which will allow for editing and correcting of errors without lots of crossing out.
Remember that good readers become good writers! Identify good writing features when reading (e.g. vocabulary, sentence structure and punctuation).
Show your appreciation: praise and encourage, even for small successes!
