Moor House Path to Writing

In 2002, when we launched our school, we developed a basic writing program for the children. We wanted writing to be a tool that children would use. We also realized that attitude and individual development play a large role in writing proficiency.

In the early years, before school age, we suggest parents keep journals, share family history stories with their children, write letters, post messages to family, keep lists, and take inventories of possessions.

The following is the process we use to develop writing. Sure, all of these can be done on line. This writing process helps children grasp the constructing or the encoding of communication. Hand writing also develops more brain connections than typing and builds better memory capacity.

(New Era, Oct. 1975, 5). —President Spencer W. Kimball
The Lord has asked us through the prophets to keep a journal. Faith in God, Duty to God, and Personal Progress, all have journaling components. There are online ways to keep a journal.  

However, I do like the book idea better. 





I find journal writing naturally develops the discipline of writing habit and gives daily penmanship.
