Creative Writing be it English or chinese

Thanks for sharing.


Ideally kids should read widely, this is the best way to learn vocabulary, and then attend creative writing classes to learn helpful techniques if they don’t naturally have the gift to write well.

I agree. Give her a variety of books in different genres to read and that will widen her knowledge and expose your child to different writing styles. From there, I believe, your child will develop his/her own style. Personally, Roald Dahl is my personal favourite. Wacky, creative and fun. Your kids will love it. And when they grow older, read his adult short stories. Quite an adventure!

My son is already coming to 13 and he is a avid reader. He reads book Anthony Horowitz, Artemis Fowl, The Mysterious Benedict Society, Roald Dahl, Cynthia Kadohata and Adeline Yeh Mah's book etc..

However, he doesn't write well. Even his school teacher asked me why my son doesn't write well. So my conclusion is in writing reading does not translate into writing well. To be able to write well is a natural ability.. My son cannot link his reading to writing and i also do not know how to help him.

Hi Harbie, Yes, you used the right word \"link\". For me is use the word \"associate\" what she has read to her writing:(

I am quite amazed whenever she scored full marks for her cloze passage, if she didnt read well i dont think she filled in the right words.

Creative writing, is a skill acquired creative and flow of thoughts.

I cannot remember off-hand now. My daughter has to self-grade and peer grade her chinese compo before her school teacher grade. There is this checklist that she has to tick and score. I will get hold of that checklist and let you know. I will also ask her chinese teacher if this is the same checklist for PSLE grading.
