Teaching Writing to a Reluctant Writer

by Linda Popolano

Aug 13, 2008 2587 Views

_notregistered/art_105_38f5670297~.jpg Like many middle-school-aged boys, my son despised writing assignments when we began homeschooling. Having been forced to do voluminous writing assignments when he was still attending school, his initial reaction when I became his teacher was to protest and argue over every writing assignment I gave him. After much trial and error, I found that the best approach was to give him a lot of latitude in choosing the topics and even what days he would write, at least in the beginning.

How to Love Writing?

by Tyler Benson

Aug 16, 2008 2522 Views

Another crumpled sheet of paper is thrown into the paper basket, your thoughts are rushing around in your head, but none seems to be worthy to open your essay - you are in despair. You ask yourself: "Why should I torture myself with all these useless attempts to force a cohesive sentence. I just cannot write and that's it." You decide to quit this hopeless pastime and do something much more pleasant. It is easy, I agree. But this way you will never know whether you can write or not. We learn a thing just by doing it - it is obvious.

They should be taught to concentrate on one objective only at the first attempt. He or she, should learn the building of letters first, but one by one.
