Our aspiring elementary and middle school authors use an interactive, multi-sensory, peer-review based approach. Rooted in child development research, our multi-sensory approach is scientifically guaranteed to have results. It also makes writing fun and the craft of writing easily learned.
High school is all about writing. The more you do it, the better you get.
Why Attend Writers Studio Workshops?
“The more you get students involved in activities where they are writing for a real audience and with a real purpose, the more they will see writing as an activity that is necessary, purposeful, and enjoyable,” says Sandhya Nankani, former Supervising Editor, Scholastic Education. “A weekly structure that involves fun writing activities might help students understand and enjoy the social benefits of writing such as sharing stories and learning from Persuasive Writing & Analytical Thinking.”
