Writing styles covered

Aimed at children aged 6 to 12, our fun writing activities for primary students are the perfect way to ease the learning process of improving their ideas, writing skills, communication, and self-expression. Writing styles covered include:

These activities also help to unlock children’s imaginations by providing a creative entry point to writing rather than being given a blank piece of paper and a pen. They make writing feel more like a game rather than a strict template to follow. Whether you’re a parent looking for a fun way to incorporate daily writing and reading at home, a teacher looking for creative writing exercises to plug in to your lessons, or a homeschooler thinking of a new writing task for your next English language arts lesson, we’ve got you covered!
