Writing - Helping at Home

Please find below a parent's guide showing how we teach writing at Round Hill and what you can do to support your child.

There are a number of  websites your child can use in class as well as home for their own fun and homework. Apart from allowing pupils to use them, most of these sites allow pupils to interact with others further enhancing their writing experience.

The links below show you the best writing websites for pupils...

1. Scholastic Website For Children

This is a website that is essentially meant for parents, teachers and kids. Here, kids are free to write stories they feel inspire them to be better writers of adventure, science fiction, etc. The website is considered one of the best writing websites for kids because it helps them write what interests them in a way that is not only interesting but friendly for their age. This writing website is ideal for children in preparatory school. You can visit the website at: http://www.scholastic.com/.

2. Fun English Games

This is another writing website for kids that can help your child become a better writer. The website has an easy user interface and colors your child will love. You can visit the website on http://www.funenglishgames.com/writinggames.html. This website is one of the most popular fun writing games for kids website on the internet.

3. Boom Writer

This is another popular kid writing website. It allows your kids to not only develop and enhance their writing skills, but also helps them develop their vocabulary, reading prowess and peer assessment. The website is designed for kids and as such, most likely to attract them. In addition to the kid’s resources, the website has resources for books, educators and games for kids. You can visit the website whose address is boomwriter.com. If you are looking for a website where your kids can write stories, handle projects with classmates, and then this is the right website for you.

4. Edublogs

This is another website that allows your kids to get into blogging at an early stage. Your child can basically start a blog on their own to write about what interests them. Children can also share their blogs with other students, subsequently developing their writing skills. The website ID is here: http://edublogs.org/.

5. Kidblog Website

This is another popular kids writing blog which functions almost the same as edublogs. The only difference this blog has is that, what your child writes is not available to the public. This blog while interesting, makes it harder to share your child’s work with others without access but makes for a good place for them to develop their writing skills. You can go to the website here: http://kidblog.org/home/.
