USinG aRt To InSPiRe KiDs To WRiTe

Using arts and crafts to inspire the reluctant writer is my passion. I believe that creative writing is something that can never be taught to kids by giving them lectures and telling them all the rules, patterns, and formats. To make them good at creative writing, it is important make them practice.
