CREATIVE WRITING
YOUR LEARNER’S SUPERPOWER

With a quadrillion connections and as many neurons as stars in the universe, your brain is the most complicated object around. Amazingly, it converts the continuous informational onslaught you face into something you can actually understand: STORIES.

When your learner develops writing skills and masters storytelling, they make this innate process more efficient and controllable. In this way, creative writing sharpens critical thinking, builds effective communication and interpersonal skills and increases self-confidence. The benefits of creative writing are endless!

WRITING ISN'T EXTRA-CURRICULAR,
IT'S TRANS-CURRICULAR

Discover the many benefits of creative writing. It fosters observation, flexibility and persistence: all powerful drivers of personal growth, no matter the subject. Your child will utilize the lessons they learn from writing for life. 1
Writing not only supercharges your learner’s ability to absorb, process, retain and retrieve information across disciplines, it also increases their tenacity while tackling complex material.
We can get really geeky, but for now, consider this: as learners create storyworlds, characters and plot structures, they engage with the big picture and small details simultaneously and strengthen long-term memory.
Creative writing heightens your child’s:
  • Observation skills
  • Flexibility and adaptability
  • Persistence 2

Creative writing improves math and science grades

Seriously! Creative writing isn’t just useful for English class; it’s brain food for STEM too. All human understanding lies within stories, so it follows that storytelling constitutes one of the most universally beneficial skills your learner can develop. 3
Your learner’s math and science scores will reflect improved pattern recognition, construction and extension skills. With writing, they also create personally meaningful contexts—whys to accompany the hows—that transmute rote to write.
Storytelling improves your learner's ability to:
  • Integrate new material
  • Think critically
  • Recognize patterns

Creative Writing Builds Confidence

Looking to raise a confident child? Imagine your learner's pride when a reader expresses their appreciation for their story. These emotions empower, fueling a confidence reservoir that allows them to lean into and overcome many of life's challenges. 4
Find your voice during the writing process—it’s liberating! Besides making your learner comfortable with themselves, a strong voice transforms their interpersonal communication skills and could turn your wallflower into the life of the party.
