hi

to be frank, its very difficult economically for us to send my kid to these enrichment classes, but i am a enthusiastic mom , i want to help my kid. DOES anybody can give advice on improving creative writing step-by step.

Hi, I'm just clueless as most parents when it comes to creative writing, so can't share any advice on this.

However, I would like to recommend this book http://www.amazon.com/Writing-Magic-Creating-Stories-that/dp/0060519606/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1329816750&sr=8-7. My son read it recently and finds it an inspiration for him to start writing. (He kind of lamented that I should have recommended him the book earlier.) Hopefully this book will inspire your child the same way it does for my son.

Note: This book is meant for encouraging and inspiring one to write, not a step-by-step manual for school composition writing.

fundamentally

1. Read more and read widely (different author, writing styles and genres)

2. Pick up catchy phrases and idioms.

3. Boost up vocab or word bank

4. Model after good compositions and learn from them.

Which level does this book suitable for (P3/4 or P5/6)? Thanks.

This book befits for any level, but I would suggest that the earlier your child get accustomed to perusing it, then the results reaped will be much more abundant and efficacious.

I just took a look at the book on Amazon and I would say that it is way too advanced for most P2s. Take a look and judge for yourself based on your child's level before buying.

Hi KSP,

According to Amazon, the book is suitable for students 10 years and up.

However, I see no reason why it won't benefit younger students if parents could read the book with them.

Recently, I stumbled upon this website http://www.myschoolsuccess.com/ that provides free trial lessons by school levels. This would be more suitable for parents who are looking for guidance on writing school compositions.
