Presentation:
Fostering Fabulous Fiction
Would you like to help your child create their own fictional world? Fiction can be an excellent tool for your child to explore their feelings, try out new ideas, or just express their creativity. Researchers have found that writing fiction helps your child learn to read and write, exercise their imagination, clarify their thinking, and entertain themselves and others, among other benefits. This session will provide you with the nuts and bolts of fiction writing. I will cover character, plot, setting, theme, point of view, and dialogue. I will also focus on ways to help your child get started writing, find their writing style and blast through writing blocks.
