Writing…
Writing is an essential element of educaiton. Sure, we all know it’s important to be good writers, but do we realize just how important that really is? A good wrtier has the ability to express themselves well. That means that they can get their point across effectively. This is a skill that is required for success in high school, college, and in the workplace.
A 1992 survey stated that executives identified writing as the most valued skill but said 80% of their employees across the board needed improvement.
Writing skills also prepare better communicators. If you can write well you are more than likely able to berbally communicate well. As a homeschooler, one of my greatest frustrations has been this area. Finding a motivating yet challenging writing course that prepares my children for high school, college, and life is reare. Yet, by using a few online tools such as Time4Writing, Blog writing courses, and SAT writing prep I’ve been able to see a distinct improvement. My one major homeschooling goal is to prepare them for their future. If I can produce good writers, I will feel like I have been successful!
