[quote=Anonymous]Our private school emphasizes writing early. My 1st grader has had to write short fiction stories, letters, persuasive pieces, non-fiction pieces. They have developed a process for revising and editing that they do by themselves, with peers, and with the teacher. There will of course still have errors and mistakes in their "published" version, but I love that it teaches the process and helps them recognize the elements that are part of different types of writing. Writing is not learned just by reading. If that was the case, then every graduate student would be an excellent writer. Most lawyers are terrible writers until someone teaches them how to write. Bad writing is my biggest pet peeve in the workplace. Get a tutor or a book on how to write. It will make a difference![/quote]
