In this engaging children’s writing course, young writers will explore the fundamentals of technical writing and learn how to use outlines to organize and build their ideas. Through fun, structured activities, students will practice breaking down their thoughts step-by-step — from brainstorming to drafting clear, logical pieces. Mastering outlining not only strengthens their writing process, but also boosts critical thinking and problem-solving skills. This course empowers growing writers to confidently structure their stories, essays, and reports, giving them a solid foundation for all future writing endeavors.

Students will learn how to actively engage with texts by using annotations — highlighting key details, asking questions, and making connections — to better understand characters, themes, and plot development. By breaking down stories piece by piece, young readers will not only sharpen their analytical thinking, but also discover how thoughtful reading fuels their own writing. Mastering these skills helps growing writers craft more meaningful stories and responses, strengthening both their reading and writing abilities.
