One of the great skills a person can possess is being a good writer. Strong writing skills are important in order for kids to succeed in school and beyond. Unfortunately, it’s a skill that many of today’s children lack. For whatever reason – whether it’s too much technology, not enough reading, text messaging and emailing with the acronyms (LTK, GTG) – our kids’ writing abilities are getting weaker by the day!
Fortunately, Family Fantasy Sports is here to help! We want to provide kids with opportunities to practice their writing skills by becoming sports writers and correspondents for FamilyFantasySports.com. Children of all ages are encouraged to send us their articles, opinions, predictions, observations, or reviews about sports, family, events, school…whatever! The choice is theirs. Here’s a sample from one of our first FFS correspondents.
As parents, you can also use this as an activity to work on together. Edit their writing and suggest ways in which it can improve. The more they write, the better they’ll become. So get them writing and let’s see what they have to say!
All articles, thoughts, predictions, or reviews can be emailed to Taz & Sal at info@familyfantasysports.com!
