Summer is a great time to suggest lively activities that naturally incorporate writing.
For instance, you might suggest that you child write a play for the neighborhood children to perform. If your child is unfamiliar with the format of a script, ask your local librarian to provide you with examples. Or she might like to begin a family newsletter. Have her write or email extended family members asking about their summer plans. Suggest that she interview older family members about summers past or shared family traditions.
