    QUICK TIPS 1:
    MAKE PRACTICING FUN
    Encourage kids to practice writing about topics that
    interest them. That could be a “how-to” on their
    favorite hobby. Or the agenda for the weekend.
    Low-pressure writing tasks can feel less like work to
    kids and even make writing fun.
    6

    QUICK TIPS 2:
    BE A SCRIBE
    The physical act of getting words on paper or
    typed out is often a barrier to writing. Have
    kids say out loud what they want to express.
    You can write or type it word for word.
    7

    QUICK TIPS 3:
    TRY GRAPHIC ORGANIZERS
    A blank screen or empty paper can make
    writing down ideas feel overwhelming. A
    structured outline or template can help kids
    come up with ideas and organize writing
    assignments.
    8

    QUICK TIPS 4:
    MAKE A PLAN TOGETHER

    Kids may put off a writing task until the last


    minute. Or they might worry about how long it
    will take, so they avoid it altogether. Have kids
    look at the task and help them decide how
    much time it needs. Then schedule that time
    and build in a break.
    9

    QUICK TIPS 5:
    PRAISE THE EFFORT
    Struggling with any skill can make kids feel
    like they’re not smart. And it can be
    especially frustrating for kids who want to
    write but have trouble with it. Celebrate
    small wins and praise their efforts as kids
    work on writing tasks.
    10

    SENTENCE CONSTRUCTION
    To write, kids have to know how to construct sentences that make sense. But kids often have a hard
    time understanding and using correct sentence structure.
    They may not understand the placement of verbs or how verb tenses work. They may also use
    sentences that are too simple or incomplete. Or they may string a lot of ideas together into long run-
    on sentences.
    Using correct punctuation (like commas and apostrophes) can be a challenge, too. So can knowing
    when to use capital letters.
    What can help: One way to help kids who struggle with this skill is by teaching them basic, practical
    knowledge. Things like the difference between a statement and a question, and the difference between
    a subject and a verb.
    Kids need a lot of practice using this knowledge to write sentences. They might work on splitting and
    combining sentences, for example, and using sentence connectors like and or but.
    11

    GENRE AND CONTENT KNOWLEDGE


    Genre knowledge means knowing how to use different types of writing. If the assignment is to write a
    story, kids need to know what goes into the genre of narrative writing. It has to include setting (who,
    where, when) and plot (what and why).
    Another example of a genre is the persuasive essay. To write one, kids need to use a position statement,
    reasons, facts to support reasons, and a conclusion that summarizes the main reasons.
    Content knowledge means knowing something about the subject you're writing about. If asked to
    write a letter to a politician about pollution, kids need to understand what pollution is. They’ll also
    need to know how it affects people, animals, and the environment. And they may need to know what
    causes pollution.
    What can help: Many kids pick up knowledge about genre just by being exposed to it in school
    through reading. Others may need more explicit instruction. For example, they may need to be taught
    about the difference between biography and memoir, or fiction versus nonfiction.
    12

    PLANNING, REVISING, AND EDITING


    • To write, kids have to juggle lots of ideas. Then they have to decide how to organize those ideas
    into paragraphs and an overall structure. This requires pulling the right knowledge from memory,
    like genre and content knowledge.
    • Kids also need to go back through what they’ve written to fix errors and make improvements so
    the message is clear. That requires understanding why and how to make changes to the text to
    make it better.
    • What can help: Kids can learn specific strategies about the writing process. For instance, the
    “hamburger” strategy helps kids plan a paragraph. A paragraph needs a topic sentence (top bun),
    main idea (patty), supporting details (condiments), and a conclusion (bottom bun).
    • A “spider map” encourages kids to think of a topic with supporting details. A “T table” helps them
    brainstorm reasons for and against a certain issue. And a timeline can help kids map out a
    sequence of events for a story.
    • Graphic organizers use many of these strategies. These tools help kids visualize how to plan their
    papers. They also help kids generate content in an organized way.

    FINAL TIPS & TAKEAWAYS


    • Memory, focus, and self-regulation play a big role in writing.

    • Some kids need to be taught about what goes into different genres
    of writing.

    • Graphic organizers can help kids come up with and organize


    concepts while they write.
