60 minutes Every child should be able to express himself logically and succinctly. Kathryn shows you how to teach composition so that even kids who 'hate to write' will change their minds. Practical suggestions include how to remove common obstacles to good writing, ways to hone skills at a pace comfortable for each child, and ideas for tying composition topics to other subject areas to keep writing relevant (and save you teaching time). She also gives keys to evaluation so that you can help your children build skills instead of simply completing assignments.
