My Writer's Notebook
by Reading Connection, Beginning Edition
April 2015

    A writer's notebook can inspire your youngster to write every day.  Give him a notebook, and let him decorate the cover.  Then, share these ideas.  

 Onomatopoeia
It's fun to say and write words that sound like their meanings.  Your child might list ones such as boom, hiss, and crunch.  

 Heart Map
This big heart is filled with all the things your youngster loves.  Let him draw a heart that fills a page.  Inside it, he can illustrate and label his favorite things (family, mountains, music).  

 Jokes
Help your child write down jokes he hears or thinks up.  He could draw a funny picture to go with each one.

 Questions
Does your youngster wonder why apple slices turn brown or why puddles disappear?  When he asks a question, have him jot it down.  Help him look it up in a book or online so he can add the answer.
