Most homeschool parents are somewhat intimidated by the prospect of teaching their children how to write. We want our children to be able to write well, but are not sure how to get to that place. Should we take a free-writing approach where children are just given space to write whatever they feel like writing, or a more structured approach where they learn a model or method? Writing is an area that we might find ourselves wanting to avoid for as long as possible, but it is also an area we know is a critical communication skill whether students move into a university education or not. This workshop will explore different types of writing, a variety of writing tools, and will help equip participants to take the next step in teaching their children to write.
