Write Now: Ideas for Writers

Write Now: Ideas for Writers teaches children to write their wildest stories as well as their factual reports. Photo prompts for both fiction and nonfiction encourage originality, thoughtfulness and even silliness across all genres. Children are reminded, “When you are the writer, you are the boss,” so hand this book to your child and let years of research do it’s work as your child writes and writes. And writes. 
 
Many children connect with visual ideas faster than hearing about ideas, so the photo prompts in the book are a great way for young writers to break out of their comfort zone and find something new and exciting to write about.
 
Genres in Write Now: Ideas for Writers include: biography, informational, humor, sports, reference, persuasive, autobiography, news articles, lists, fantasy, poetry, plays, mystery, science fiction, graphic novels, fairy tales and realistic fiction.  
 
In Write Now: Ideas for Writers, Holly Winter Huppert integrates research about educational achievement, cognitive neuroscience and motivation so young writers can have fun and develop a love of writing. According to research, childhood achievement in writing is a strong predictor of academic success even four years later—and that is something we want for all learners.
 
Whether you have an enthusiastic writer or a reluctant writer in your house, giving your young writer choices on what to write and how to write it unlocks their creative side. Gift your favorite young writer with this book and watch as they write and write. And write.
