Read more about our Elementary Writing classes...

Even before they can handwrite (or read) fluently, your young child has writing to share.

Elementary-aged kids simply need a willing partner to help them move words to the page (Psst... That's YOU!)

Imagine their sense of pride when you add their writing to the morning read-aloud basket! These online classes launch them as authors!

We've designed three classes to pair read-alouds with writing activities that kids will love. 

Here’s a preview of the trio—click the images below for more information and to register.

  • Story Switcheroo

Join us on a whimsical journey as we mold and reshape favorite fairy tales, combining story elements, lighthearted writing exercises, and imaginative play to introduce your child to a whole new magical world—of writing! (Ages 5-8)

  • Telling Tales

Grab your favorite assortment of books about myths and legends for this class. Play storytelling games, make a character collage, and act out a daring rescue that becomes your very own tale. (Ages 7-10)

  • Animal Stories

Using favorite animal stories, you and your kids will uncover literary elements, narrative structure, and plot devices commonly used in these types of tales. Includes a project to write an animal tale from start to finish! (Ages 7-10)

Highlights of these courses:

  • Four weeks long and asynchronous, for maximum flexibility
  • One price for the whole family
  • Capped at 25 families who interact with each other, writer's workshop-style
  • Adults are the ones who post in class—get all your questions about writing answered!
  • Includes a live instructor giving personalized feedback to help writers grow

Consider these classes your chance to engage the child who loves dress up, LEGO builds, and imaginative play as they get hooked on writing!
