An interactive, fun, and effective approach to writing. Young learners develop creative and factual writing skills as they complete 9 exciting activities. They can build pictures and write stories to go along with them, design comic strips, write captions, compose play scripts, and write and record voice-overs for video stories. Easy-to-use tools and banks of words, pictures, and examples also help kids create shape poems, arguments, biographies, and diary entries. Simply click on an item in the bank to insert it into the composition area, then type away! Extracts from works of literature are included in each activity to inspire young writers and serve as a reference. Words, pictures, and examples can also be added to the program to create custom activities. Teacher support material, including overviews of each activity and discussion, research, and writing points, are included.
Full speech support and text from classical and modern literature make this innovative program a stand-out. You'll see the writing skills of your child sharpen with Writing Focus.
