Word Play is a series of educational workbooks that teach grade school age children to love creative writing. Learning to express thoughts and feelings through writing is one of the most valuable skills a child can learn. Not only does writing foster creativity, but it also aids in learning emotional intelligence, communication, problem-solving skills and abstract thinking.
By the time children hit grade school and begin writing regularly in school, the play element has faded and it becomes work. And that's where Word Play comes in! Through these games and writing exercises, your child will learn to love storytelling again! They will experience fun ways to work on self-expression and creative thinking, as well as technical skills like spelling, grammar, syntax, paragraph structure, parts of speech and so much more! Catch me on MomsTown365 Talking about WordPlay
