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

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.

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.

and could turn your wallflower into the life of the party.
