A practical resource to help you turn struggle into success and become the writing coach your kid needs—from the creator of the award-winning Brave Writer curriculum

Writing is often hard—for kids and for adults. How can we help our children get past the difficulties and learn the writing skills that are so necessary for communication, creativity, and critical thinking?

In Help! My Kid Hates Writing, Julie Bogart shares the secrets to breakthroughs in writing that have made her award-winning Brave Writer program a smash hit among homeschoolers and beyond. From unlocking the joys of freewriting to overcoming fear of the red pen, it blends useful advice and hands-on exercises with in-depth explanations of the underlying philosophy—and throws in more than a few pep talks for parents along the way.

Teach your kid not just what to write but how to write—and research, revise, and polish—with this encouraging and educational guide to language arts.
