    What Can You Do To Make Your Child A Writer?

    • Have paper, pencils, chalk, and markers available.
    • Let your child see you reading and writing: shopping lists; letters and e-mails to teachers, family, and friends; telephone messages; reminder notes; and diary or journal entries. Children learn to value reading and writing from your example.
    • Send your child messages. Tuck a note into your child's lunchbox. Stick a note with a question onto his or her pillow or bedroom door. Ask for a written reply.
    • Look at magazine pictures together. Improve your child's vocabulary and sharpen his or her observation skills by describing what each of you see.
