Summer is the perfect time to learn to write well at a more leisure pace, and to improve upon the techniques of academic and creative writing.
Several students use the summer writing workshop as a bridge between two grades and to help transition smoothly into the next grade.
Learn To Write Now’s Summer Writing Workshop begins on June 11th, 2013 for Grades K-5 and on June 14th, 2013 for Grades 6, 7 and 8. Each class size is small with a minimum of 6 to a maximum of 12 students. Within each class, students will be grouped in clusters of three to four.
The small class size allows for individual attention to each student and helps to foster the sense of belonging to a supportive learning community in which students can feel comfortable exploring new directions in their writing and thinking. Trusting one’s own language and voice, learning to think for oneself and in collaboration with others— these are the qualities and skills that the workshop strives to develop.
Online registration is currently open and is first come, first serve.
