It doesn’t have to be a fairytale! Although let’s be real; not all students will be dream writers - BUT they will write. When people want to get better at something, they spend time practicing and doing the activity. The same is true for writing. Students need time to practice the craft.

In this episode we will explore

  • Make it part of the routine

  • Friendly competition
  • Set goals, monitor progress, and celebrate!
