   Parents on Writing

How can you help your teen with writing?

*           Write yourself. Leave notes around the house. It’s an everyday thing.

*           Encourage your teen to write all the time – anything and everything.

*           Work with your teen’s teachers.

*           Check their work to ensure they are following the complete writing
             process.

What will colleges look for in your child’s writing? 
Their thoughts should be well organized, concise, to the point, and most importantly, grammatically correct. Pick up any of the dozens of grammar books available in bookstores or libraries for your son or daughter. Good grammar skills are like time management skills – they are the kind that they will use for life.
