All writing doesn’t have to use words? That’s right, introduce your child to photo essays. Decide on a theme, then collect pictures from magazines connected to that theme.
“Write” about the theme chosen. Let your child tell you about how the pictures relate to the theme.
Ask you child to put the pictures in an order that tells a story, and have them tell the story. Such fun and learning together, and a great activity for parent and child.
If your child can cut and paste on the computer, they can use this medium, also. Most of all, your child is learning, having fun, and interacting with one of the most important people in their lives…you!

The pictures included could be used for a theme about a school day routine....sleeping, breakfast, get bookbag, listening in class, homework.
Also, sequence, or the logical order of a story, can be taught. This will also help your child plan a writing later.
Have fun and let me know how it goes!!!
