Curriculum Standards

Each state department has curriculum standards for writing. Visit the state department website for your state and become familiar with the writing standards for your child's grade. These begin in kindergarten. It's a good way to know what your child is expected to achieve in each grade.

Never hesitate to ask your child's teacher about the writing process in the classroom. Some schools may have a Write Night or something similar

for parents and children. If not, suggest they do.

There are numerous sites that give suggestions for helping your child be a better writer. Go Google! Try teacher resources, then writing (search in results).
