We often hear about the importance of reading with your young children at home, but rarely do we hear people advising to write with your children at home. Research proves, though, that reading and writing go hand-in-hand, and a childs reading comprehension greatly improves as his or her writing improves.

So, you want your child to become a better writer. Good plan! The ability to write clearly and with ease is one that will help your child from first grade through the rest of his or her life. Sure, school will teach your child the fundamentals of writing (grammar, syntax, and such), but that wont necessarily make it easy or fun. Take-home essays and homework assignments can only help so much; the only way to become a better writer is to practice it over and over. Even as a college English major, I fully admit that writing is hard!
