Tips for Encouraging Our Young Writers...
By Cindy Rushton
Hitting those writing snags? Want to really encourage your young writers? Here are some tips from a mom who almost blew it--ME! 
Enjoy your little ones today!
- Teach them to dedicate all of the writing to the Glory of God! 100%!
- SLOW down to teach LITTLE BY LITTLE, STEP BY STEP!
- Encourage them to become great readers! (Begin by reading aloud as a family!)
- Beware of YOUR criticism!
- Encourage a standard of excellence instead of perfection!
- Study the writing of different authors
- Focus on getting what they “do” know on paper…the alternative is what we see in writing courses and tests…writing what they do not know!
- Give a purpose for writing (notebooks, journals, letters, creating books, email, article writing, Scrapbooking…)
- Teach them to produce not consume… produce each day!
- If you want your children to become great writers, then require them to write every day!
- Teach your children how to test their writing for excellence.
- Teach your children that others may not know about their topic and would really love to!
- Encourage your children to write from the heart!
