What Parents Can Do to Nurture Good Writers
Steve Graham, a professor at Arizona State University’s Teachers College, has been researching how young
people learn to write for more than 30 years. He is a co-author of numerous books on writing instruction,
including “Powerful Writing Strategies for All Students.”
How does reading at home help children become better writers?
is really critical, but it’s not enough. We don’t have much evidence that if you just read more, you’ll
be a better writer. But analyzing text does make a difference. So when we read to kids, we can also have
conversations with them about the author’s craft. How did this author make this place seem real in terms of
description? What words did they use? How did they present this idea or this argument?
Should a parent correct a child’s writing, or just be encouraging?Sometimes when kids come to you to share what they’re writing, they’re not coming for feedback. They are
coming for affirmation. It’s really important we emphasize first and foremost what we really like about it.
And if you’re going to give feedback, just pick one or two things. English teachers — and parents are guilty
of this, too — sometimes overwhelm kids with more feedback than they can absorb all at once. The other
thing that’s really important, particularly for parents, is to remember that they don’t own this piece. It’s their
child’s.
What should parents look for to assess the writing instruction at their child’s school?
After about third grade, very little time is devoted to explicit writing instruction. It’s like we’ve imagined
that kids have acquired what they need to know to be good writers by then! In middle and high school, the
most common activities are fill-in-the-blanks on worksheets, writing single sentences, making lists or writing
a paragraph summary. When you start talking about persuasive essays or an informative paper, those things
occur infrequently in English class and even less so in social studies and science.
So the first questions are: “Is my kid writing at school, and was he given writing assignments to work on at
home? Do those require writing more extended thoughts for the purposes of analysis and interpretation?”
That’s what they need to be able to do for college.
