Tips for Using Halloween story starters:

• Allow your child to use this activity to free write. No pressure on spelling, grammar, or sentence structure. Allow this time to simply allow your child the practice of getting ideas on paper.
• Have your child edit her own writing. This allows your child more practice and the ability to feel good about producing a piece of writing.
• Use this to give your child a chance to present her writing in front of the family. This can be fun and a way to help your child with public speaking.
