The Young Writers Workshop is an engaging program designed to help students discover the joy and power of writing. Through creative prompts, hands-on activities, and guided mini-lessons, students explore storytelling, poetry, journaling, and informational writing in a supportive, confidence-building environment. The program nurtures imagination while strengthening foundational literacy skills such as vocabulary, sentence structure, and organization. Students collaborate, share their work, and learn to revise with pride, ultimately developing their voices as young authors who see themselves as capable, expressive, and enthusiastic writers.
Workshop Includes:
At the conclusion of the workshop, students will compile their writings into a portfolio to share with friends and family.
