Family Writing Tips

Families you can help your student in writing in the following ways:

  • Encourage your child to write 1 book a day

  • Make sure they spell sight words correctly. Practice saying the sight word and spelling the word together.

  • If they come to a tricky word, it is okay for students to write a letter for every sound they can hear when they stretch out a word. Inventive spelling is okay.

  • Ask prompting questions:

    • What is the topic of your book?

    • Do your pages go together so they make sense to a reader?

    • Does your picture match the pattern you wrote on the page? How could you revise your thinking so it makes sense to the reader?
