Creekside5 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 It turns out the my reluctant writer has miraculously turned into an amazing writer!!! His fine motor skills has finally stopped holding him back and what pores out of his pencil is beautiful, amazing, and extremely advanced for a 11 year old. He hated writing as an 8 and 9 year old and I thought he would never write, but now he will write and write. He has grown so much in one year, that I am confused on what to do next with him. He loves argumentative writing and proving his point. I think we will just do more essay writing and learn to site sources. I would love more ideas. What has worked for your advanced writer? Does anyone know of writing contests for the middle school age group or above? Fiction is not his thing. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternalsummer Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 Would he be interested in writing book reviews? Stone Soup (the magazine) publishes tween work (I think you have to be under 14); most of it seems to be fiction but there are book reviews. He might like National History Day if you are in the US.

Creekside5 Posted April 1, 2017 Author Share Posted April 1, 2017 Thanks! I think he would like to write book reviews because he could persuade others. Great idea! I'll look up National History day too. Would he be interested in writing book reviews?
