Tips Give children many opportunities to write.
When you are doing shared, interactive writing with children, encourage them to help you write words, parts of words, and punctuation. Have children say the sounds and write the letters for each sound they hear. Have children write thank-you notes or fan mail to a favorite book character or children's book author. Kids can also write in electronically to our Feedback area. Most letters are posted here, or included in The Paw Print , our weekly newsletter.
