My Mission Statement |
|---|
Over the past 29 years, wow, I have endeavoured to master the skills of equiping my students with the proper English Grammar tools in order that they may generate and develop their own unique, creative writing styles. |
When your child begins to write, a good place for them to start is with what they already know. Writing from their first hand knowledge is logical and comes naturally to them because they already have an emotional attachment to their experiences, ideas and vocabulary to compose a powerful piece of writing. Their writing has meaning to them. Follow the sequence of the seven lessons in each section of the Helping With Writing website to establish, extend and grow your child's writing skills. Sentence Structure teaches basic English Grammar. Sentence Openers extends your child's imagination to write high grade narratives. |
