Why Does Writing Seem So Foreign To Our Children?
We could probably come up with a million ideas in response to this question, but is there one true answer? Probably not, as there are so many variables. We understand that children have different learning styles, interests, motivations, home environments, and academic structures.
It is through this course that we can directly dive in to the understanding of where one's lack of interest starts and how it is carried throughout. Writing struggles become escalated when overlooked or avoided.

What Would Your Classroom Culture Be If All Students Enjoyed Writing?
It is possible to bring the joy of writing back to any reluctant individual.
Educators need to provide the students with the appropriate tools, positive approaches, and adequate modeling opportunities.
We must encourage our students to be risk-takers. Risk-taking in writing allows for the building of natural confidence.
It is our goal at the Learning Exchange Academy to help educators bring successful strategies into their classroom environments.
