Motivating children to write

Unfortunately not all children enjoy the task of writing and therefore we sometimes need to give them a 'helping hand', especially when it comes to choosing what to write about. Below are 2 websites that I've been using in my ESOL classes, each slightly different but very motivating.

Please encourage your child to write regularly to build up their interest and enjoyment. It doesn't matter if they are writing on the computer, in a book, or on a whiteboard. All writing is good writing.
