If your preschooler loves story time or has an active imagination, these activities will do wonders to instill the love of writing and storytelling that can possibly last them a lifetime.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reading Time<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For many children, the love of writing comes from the love of reading. Start having a regular time where you and your preschooler read together. You can even build a \u201cReading Corner\u201d in your house with fun pillows and a bookshelf filled with your favorite books. When reading with your child, ask them at certain points what they think will happen next to encourage creativity and free thinking.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Trips to the Library<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">An important part in teaching your child about writing is encouraging them to learn about their preference in stories and genres. After finishing a story, ask your child what they loved most about it, and something they would change. Spend the afternoon at the library and look for books together\u2014teach them to read the preview of the book and let them pick something out by themselves. You may be surprised at what they choose!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Regular Writing Exercises<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Together, pick out a chapter book that you can read together\u2014or any book that\u2019s big enough for you to read over the course of a few days. At good stopping points, discuss with your child what they think is going to happen next. Talk about the similarities and differences in their version and the book\u2014you\u2019d be astonished what stories your child will create just out of these little discussions!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Give them their own journal<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Making writing a special practice can change the way your child sees the writing process. Giving them a gift in the form a journal or diary can show your little one how valued their talents are\u2014make it something specific to them by choosing one with their favorite color or character on the cover. Or you can let them decorate their journal themselves. Though they may be too young to write (and, therefore, you will have to write everything down for them) this special place to create new stories can be a fun way to express themselves and bond with you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Let your child lead the way in their discovery to writing. If they want to spend most of their reading time talking about their own stories, put the book down and encourage their creative thoughts. There are no right or wrong ways to express yourself with storytelling!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you enjoyed this blog and want to read more, click below for our blog from last month!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.com\/charlotte\/2020\/10\/06\/preschoolers-and-trick-or-treating\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Preschoolers and Trick-or-Treating<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Want to learn more about<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kidsrkidscharlotte.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Kids \u2018R\u2019 Kids Learning Academy of Charlotte<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> located in Charlotte, North Carolina?
