Encourage your child to write a short story every day. The more the practise the more they will be confident.

Remind them of describing words, full stops, capital letters, Here goes some fun writing ideas for you to try :)

Keep up the reading every day 10-15 minutes.
Get your child to read, read to them, ask them questions about the story.
