How we can help your child improve their writing!

Recent NAPLAN results have been released, and the news is that many students struggled with their writing. Some parents would assume that this means that their child had difficulty with their spelling, grammar or reading. But this was not the case.

Many students had a bigger problem – one of being unable to comprehend, plan and write complete pieces of work. Programs that introduce students to the importance of structure and show children how to construct and execute pieces from start to finish can help.

Intuition holds a Page to Stage program every school holidays. The first day of the program focuses on writing. Students read published narratives, learn how such pieces are structured, and then write their own piece.

The second day of the program then focuses on adapting these pieces for the stage through drama. Drama offers a different learning style, which can assist students that learn best through the body. Drama is also a unique vehicle for teaching students valuable life skills such as confidence, public speaking, collaboration, initiative, and creativity. These skills are widely sought out by employers.

At the end of the second day, a complete performance that incorporates the writing done by students is presented to parents.
