[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Encourage them to 1) read a lot, and 2) join the school newspaper staff. Writing for the newspaper really taught me how to be clear and concise, and it gives you the opportunity to write in different ways than class papers (straight news, features, opinion, reviews, etc).[/quote]

There are lots of free resources available for your kids to be good writers. Encourage reading and writing in your home, the earlier they start the better but it its never too late. This is a great time to start journaling, online or manually. I have an 18 year old, he is an amazing writer. It started innocently enough with my encouragiing him to read Harry Potter when he was in middle school. He was firmly against it and said he though the premise of the story was dumb. I asked how he would write the story differently and this started a journey of us cowriting a book about a boy who discovers time travel. We wrote the book on and off for about 3-4 years. We just dusted it off, for the first time in about 3 years, last month. He typed up with we had hand written and has been adding to it almost daily since then. It is so good, I can't wait until it is done, I am definintely going to get it published. [/quote]
