[quote=Anonymous]My kids school had overall fantastic writing instruction in MS and HS via their school (GDS), definitely a strength of the school, and classes small enough that lots of feedback on essays and creative writing that they turned in.  Also lots of drafts/revising and chances to bring up grades by really working on fixing any problems in submitted work after a first round of feedback. When they arrived at college recently, they found they were extremely well prepared in terms of their writing skills. One child was very private about written work and during MS and early HS would have felt very defensive about getting feedback on writing from parents, so was glad that so much input was given via teachers.  Other child more open with us and we did give limited feedback on her work, or got to read pieces she was proud of after getting them back.  Agree with PPs that a love of reading, both fiction and nonfiction, also really helps. They spent lots of time, particularly in the summers, reading for pleasure. [/quote]
