Hello Tamandra,

I would try the following:
Have your son choose a topic about one of his favorite things (cars, racing, a sport). Then ask him to write 3 – 5 strong sentences about that topic. Thereafter cut out the sentences so each is on its own piece of paper. Once they are cut, work with your son to develop and construct a paragraph. Decide which sentence is the opening one and which are the supporting ones. Is there a closing one? Is there a need to write another sentence or to edit/adjust the existing ones? (Remember: writing is a creative and messy process for the majority people.)

Most of all, I suggest that you both have fun learning how to play with the sentences and more about a topic your child loves in the process. I hope this helps and would love to hear about how it goes.

Sincerely,
Jill

My 8 year old son hates any sort of creative writing and seems not to make an effort when he has to, even when given prompts… Am looking for ways to help him to develop his paragraphs. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I’ve been teaching for the past seven years, and have always started my day by having my students respond to a writing prompt in order to get the brain cells warmed up. This year I’ll be teaching 3rd for tthe first time, and could really use some guidance in crafting writing prompts that are appropriate for students at this level.
