Before you do any writing with your child it is important to talk with them about what they might write about - special words and ideas they could use, how they might start it etc.
Write shopping lists, signs, birthday cards or invites together.
Have pens, pencils, felts, and crayons available at home to encourage writing.
Put magnetic letters on the fridge and ask them to make words with the letters.
Write an email or letter to send to a relative together.
Write using chalk on the concrete outside or form letters using play dough.
