I Hate Writing Stories!

I Hate Writing Stories! is for parents who want to help their child with literacy but are unsure where to start or what to do for the best. Funny, helpful and sympathetic, the focus is on helping children to understand creative writing and use literacy in new ways. Each chapter covers a different type of approach, building through the book so that children can write stories independently and without stress. All the exercises have full example answers, to help both parents and children. The exercises are flexible and can be used for different ages and abilities. There is advice throughout on how to adapt the work to suit children who find writing itself difficult. I Hate Writing Stories! is part of the Creative Writing for Reluctant Writers series and can be paired with A Month of Stories, another title in the series. The age range is 7-14, but as all the exercises are flexible, students younger and older can benefit from this book.
