Writing a book is a great way to add creative writing to your homeschool.  

Liven up your homeschool language arts by writing a book

As homeschoolers, we have the unique opportunity to really take the time to make writing enjoyable and fun. I know most college assignments will be the 5 paragraph essay, so that is important to know. Or you can just wing it if you decide to do dual enrollment in high school. But once your kids understand the structure of the 5 paragraph essay, and they will understand it quickly, then you can move onto fun things, like writing a book. 

Let’s take a moment to be honest with each other, the 5 paragraph essay is boring. Yes, I get it. If you want to do well in college, then you need to know how to write a 5 paragraph essay, but it doesn’t inspire creativity. Even though it is an important skill to have that doesn’t mean you need to keep teaching it year after year.  

Let’s inspire creative thinking, break free from the heavily structured essays, and embrace the flexibility and creativity that homeschool offers. Writing a book is a great way to add creative writing to your homeschool. 

This podcast is all about writing a book in your homeschool and other creative ways to write in your homeschool.
