They grow up too quickly!

Parents have been known to use this phrase often as they watch their children progress through various stages of life – baby, toddler, elementary school, middle school, high school, college, and their professional career.  However, even though life gives us constant challenges and changes, one constant will always remain.  If your children can communicate effectively through writing, success will most likely follow.

But how can parents ensure this effective communication?  It’s not as difficult as you may think.  By making sure your children follow these three tips for writing success, you will be putting them in a favorable position as they navigate the communication waters.

GREAT WRITING WILL GRAB YOUR READER’S ATTENTION

It is crucial to capture your reader’s attention immediately with an opening that draws them into your writing.  By doing this, the reader will still be engaged when you communicate the main point or your thesis statement.  Attention grabbing techniques at the beginning of your essay vary from asking a question, telling a story, or painting a picture of what is to come.  Regardless, your reader needs to be interested from the start or your writing will lose its effectiveness.

IN EVERY WRITING ENDEAVOR, ORGANIZE YOUR THOUGHTS

Never undertake any writing endeavor without ALWAYS being organized.  At Dynamis Learning Academy, we like to teach the RACES organizational strategy.  This acronym stands for restate the question, answer the question, cite reasons for your answer, give examples to support your reasons, and finally, summarize.  The best part about RACES is that it can be applied across all platforms and all disciplines.  From writing an informative essay to answering an essay question on a test, use the RACES strategy.

IMPROVE YOUR WRITING BY AVOIDING REPETITION

Finally, your writing will definitely improve if you avoid repetition.  No one wants to hear the same words over and over again. Proven methods to avoid repetition are the use of synonyms and various sentence structures.  Similes, metaphors, hyperbole, personification, alliteration, and assonance are all successful ways to communicate your thoughts in a different manner.

Parents know that many challenges await their children as they grow and develop through life.  Don’t let writing be one of these challenges.  By ensuring your child follows these three main writing tips, you are positioning your children for happiness, effectiveness, and overall success when it comes to written communication.

We, at Dynamis Learning Academy, pride ourselves in helping children of all ages improve their writing skills.  We offer online writing workshops frequently and offer one-on-one tutoring that we customize to meet the child’s needs.  If writing is a skill you know your child needs, reach out to Helen at helen@dynamislearningacademy.com or 770-282-9931.  We will help your child become a successful writer.
