[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be better writers, kids need to READ more. If you're not comfortable with or don't have time to reinforce writing instruction at home, at least make sure there is daily reading time to they see sentence structure, punctuation, capitalization, etc. [/quote] Yes, +1,000! Do you think most great/influential writers (in literature or for professional success) have formal writing training? No, they READ a lot and have basic intelligence (plus some writing instruction, feedback on writing, etc.). It's not all about whether your FCPS elementary or middle school "teaches" writing...make sure they read, and write, and are generally intelligent humans...and they can learn colons versus semi-colons later in life if their teachers happen to miss those in the instruction.
