Parent Tips
Read the model example together before your child writes. Discuss what makes it good.
Let your child write a rough draft first without worrying about mistakes. Edit AFTER.
Use the checklist together — tick each item as you review the writing.
Praise effort and improvement, not just the final result. ‘Your hook is much better this time!’
Write alongside your child — when they see you writing, they’re motivated to write too.
