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.
