Emphasise character improvement before composing the story
While coming up with story ideas, ask your child questions about his or her main character’s background, personality, and motivations. In our Writing Programme, students are taught how to create engaging characters in their stories by asking “What if” questions and adopting a different point-of-view of an imaginary character.
Build a powerful description
Details are what makes a story engaging and convincing. Play observation and description games to free up your child’s imagination and encourage forming innovative expressions/ phrases in writing.
Use “Feeling†Words
Encourage your child to write and develop how an imaginary character feels in any situation. A “fleshed out” character is more relatable and likely to generate an emotional response from the reader. The use of non-literal language including metaphors allows your child to effectively describe how they, or their characters, feel.
Encourage your child to keep a writing journal
Since early on, children can start building a habit of creative writing by writing freely. When it comes to journaling and free-writing, the objective is to cultivate a love of personal expression. Refrain from correcting your child’s grammar and sentences in journal entries; in this case, creative writing for children should be as unrestricted as possible. By giving children the freedom to explore their own interests and voice, they are more likely to develop a fondness for expression in writing.
