All About English Creative Writing

[Bubbly Ang]

They don’t follow MOE syllabus? But I check out and the comments is they follows. As for Oral, I saw from their teaching list is part of it. Hmmm, I had already enrolled her and probably after Term 1, I will see some results. Hope for the best.

Nope. What oral? Luckily u only enroll for 1 term so u can still see if it meets your requirements.

Hi,


I am looking for a creative writing class for my p2 ds. Any good experiences to share?

How do you encourage your kids to write? My DD reads but does not like to write.

Tried asking her to write abt favourite topics or draw sthg she likes to accompany her writing. Also not very effective. :sad:
Ideas and suggestions are much appreciated!

A few points that might help:
- if DC doesn't like to read or is not exposed to lots of books, then might not like to write as well...so perhaps can focus on developing love for reading rather than writing first
- I notice some DCs are very motivated to do well overall - so explaining that not being able to write well is going to significantly bring down total Eng marks might be an eye opener to practise writing and not allow compo marks to cause a drop in overall marks
- there are a few good model compo books around. Sitting down and working through these with DC might be of help
-Language development needs time and a relaxed mind. So I find that it is hard to learn creative writing during crazy schedule of term time. Best time is June and Dec hols
- Use a multipronged approach - just focusing on one method (e.g. practising compo writing only) might not help

Thanks SpartanMum!

Yes, I'm trying to continue cultivating her love for reading. She does read but I wouldn't yet say she's an avid reader. Gonna keep working at it.

Any interesting writing triggers or prompts that might work with a 7-8yo? Just wanna get her comfortable with the idea of writing more than a sentence. How do we make writing fun? :scratchhead:
