Spark Creative Writing With Pictures

Writing is hard when you can't think of anything to write about. Here’s a fun way to inspire imagination and engage your child with writing.

Have your elementary schooler look through catalogs, magazines and newspapers for interesting pictures. Let your child cut out four or five images.

Next, ask your student to put the pictures together to tell a story, and tell the story to you. (How will your child link the picture of the tiger to the one of the rocket ship?)

Finally, have your child write the story down.

For variety, try scrambling the pictures and asking your child to tell a different story.
