Two days ago, I said that I would introduce you to a children's author who has WONDERFUL writing ideas! Her name is Jan Mader. I'm not even sure how we met but I am so glad we found each other.Because of Jan's great ideas, the 2 Espressos have found joy in writing. True, their projects have been smaller (not 3 page essays) but I am sure it has "ignited" them to write!
If your child (or yourself) has "hate issues" with writing, sneak in some of Jan's ideas and writing activities and they won't even realize that you have devised a plan to get them writing!
Here are some of my favorite exercises from Jan's blog:
My all-time favorite, the post that got us writing:
Green! Green!
Just To Get You Thinking
Outside The Box Again
If you try some of her ideas, please let her know. If you have any to share, please share them with both of us!!
I am SO excited to try these and read more of Jan's blog. My son has no interest in writing.
