My girls are in 4th and 5th grade this year. I have had trouble (myself) getting into a good writing routine with them. I have tried several programs, several ideas...and while they haven't been bad or anything, we just haven't been able to stick with them.So, while trying to search for the perfect program (ha) I started giving my girls writing prompts just to get them writing on a regular basis.
