Teaching children to write<\/a> is very important in today’s world. Kids are not required to write very much in school anymore. They can receive a high school diploma with only a minimal amount of writing education. Here are 6 steps for teaching your children to write.<\/p>\n

1. Need to inspire. Writing is such an enjoyable activity so get your children enthusiastic about it. You may have old letters or even a journal. Demonstrate to your kids how writing down your thoughts makes them timeless.<\/p>\n

2. Writing competition. Something you can try is a writing competition. I did this with my own children and it was great. I had each of them write a 400 word article on any subject they chose. You can try this and give them any reward you feel is appropriate for the best one.<\/p>\n

3. Create a blog<\/a>. Blogging is extremely popular and you can get started for free. Blogger<\/a>.com is a great resource. Your blog can be about anything but consider choosing a subject your whole family is interested in. You and your children can then write and post articles<\/a> about your subject. Then you and your children can spread the word to friends and family. You can even monetize your blog which will really get your children interested. <\/p>\n

4. Your children need a notebook. With a notebook your kids can write down their thoughts and ideas on many different subjects. If you have a blog then this will be particularly helpful for them when they are trying to come up with ideas for their next article. Kids can also use the notebooks to start a journal.<\/p>\n

5. Teach your children to write thank you notes. You can buy some “thank you note” stock and then get your kids to thank those who have given them gifts with a note. As a tax accountant I get thank you notes from my clients and it means worlds. I can imagine it is the same for you and others.<\/p>\n

6. Mail letters. Writing letters may seem old fashioned with the invention of email but it is still a treasured form of communication. Letters can be stored and reread many times. Grandparents and many others are not familiar with email and you know they would completely enjoy receiving a letter from your children.<\/p>\n

Teaching children to write when there are so many other activities can be challenging. First you need to inspire your children by showing them how fun writing can be. Next you can teach your kids fun activities like thank you notes, blogs and writing letters that make writing exciting.<\/p>\n
