Start the school year off on the right foot by treating your child's new teacher to a special heart-felt surprise!

This third grade writing activity brings home the lesson: it's not only what you write that's important, but how you write it, too.

Even the most reluctant beginning writers love to experiment with the "cliffhanger."

This project will help keep your child's thoughts in order as he creates stories from the beginning all the way through to the end.

Turn a real-life hero into a folklore hero. Your child can write a tall tale that makes a Davy Crockett or John Henry out of someone they personally know.

Help your child create an autumn poem full of colorful sensory details.
