How To Get Kids to WANT to Write Teaching Writing in Grades 3-8 Ep. 29

How do I get students to actually want to write? It's the question every ELA teacher and homeschool parent runs into, and it's where I start this brand-new 5-Minute Flash Training series for summer.Here's the heart of it: most writing instruction assigns writing instead of teaching it. We hand kids the finished cake and say "now you make one." In this quick training I share why desire to write matters more than we admit, and why confidence and stamina have to come before the essays, the paragraphs, and the short constructed responses. Build those two things first, and everything else gets easier.This is the foundation of my Structured Writers Workshop, the method I built after years of learning from my own editors as a published children's author. Throughout this series I'll keep coming back to confidence and stamina, daily warm-ups, voice, and the specific order I teach writing skills in.New to the Structured Writing method?
