Writing Begins With Original Ideas

Monty Haas and Laurie Joy Haas, executive producers

Writing, especially writing assignments given in school, don’t need to be a chore! This program shows just how much fun writing can be. Using child-made toys, hobbies, scribbles, computers, and art, the guests on this show (award-winning children’s author and illustrator Judith Moffatt) share simple methods for inspiring children to write for pleasure.

Use this lively DVD (part of the Words That Cook! set) to make family literacy a fun-filled part of everyday life. Included are an original half-hour show, and bonus material that features experts, parents, and children modeling enjoyable, simple family literacy practices. “Recipes for Success” provide creative tips, tools, and techniques for bringing literacy to life at home and in the classroom, and recommended booklists suggest expert-approved books for sharing.

Free viewing and workshop guide available.
