Can’t auto-correct handle this?
At Brave Writer®, we see revising and editing as two distinct, separate processes.
Editing is fixing spelling mistakes, run-on sentences and punctuation. Fixing up the handwriting, straightening the indentations. Polishing and proofreading.
Revision is part of the creative process, literally RE-VISIONING the initial draft to make changes to the content and/or how it’s written.
- Swapping in a new, more apt word
- Changing a character
- Enhancing the setting with some juicy details
- Making a plot point more clear
- Adding a thrilling opening hook
A lot of parents aren’t sure how to guide their kids through this process. Let us take the stress out of the revision for your child and for you!
Wait, this is a parent class?
Traditional approaches to writing would have you scribble a couple of suggestions and—poof!— your kids would be able to fix up their own writing.
The truth is, writing needs substantive, nourishing feedback to grow.
Brave Writer® cares about making YOU an effective writing coach for your kids. You will enroll with one or more kids to gain these coaching skills under the supervision of our trained instructors.
Brave Writer® 101 is the foundational class for your family if you are new to Brave Writer® with kids ages 9-14. You’ll experience the writing process soup to nuts with your kids with the meaningful support of a writing coach.
