Encourage creative writing, one sentence at a time
A little daily writing practice helps elementary schoolers build skills. To make it fun, provide a special notebook and ask your child to write down the first sentence of a made-up story. Then, each day, have your child add one sentence, and only one, to move the story along. It's helpful to set aside a regular time for this writing. Once a week, suggest adding an illustration. In time, your child will have written an imaginative and fun story.
