About KidWrite!
Reading
We’ve found that kids are excited to read when what they’re reading is fun. To facilitate your part in their reading adventure, we have activities and puzzles to develop their skills, as well as Talk About materials that help you engage with your child. Our focus is not only on reading comprehension but also on making the reading process enjoyable, which in turn, results in avid-reading kids.
Reading Materials
Vocabulary
A solid vocabulary is essential for reading, writing, and speaking. Rather than building vocabulary one word at a time through the memorization of individual words and their definitions, our experience shows that learning words in concept groups gets kids off to a solid start and keeps them loving words as they grow.
Vocabulary Materials
Writing
Writing is about so much more than the ability to write a sentence. It’s about knowing how to write a solid paragraph. Then, being able to expand that paragraph with examples. It’s also about being able to turn a prompt into an opening sentence. And let’s not forget that writing is about knowing what goes into a paragraph in the first place. In our experience, our step-by-step, skill-based approach will help you raise confident-writing kids.
Writing Materials
GRAMMAR
Grammar. Usage. Whatever you call it, kids need to know when to use apostrophes, commas, semicolons, and colons. They need to recognize when a word is a possessive or a contraction. They need to know when to capitalize a noun, adjectival order, and more. Most importantly, they need this knowledge to become a seamless part of their skill set.
Grammar MaterialsKidWrite! focuses on a blend of writing, literature, and vocabulary activities.
We’ve used our experience from working with kids and our own writing to create a program that spirals — growing in complexity as your child masters each level of skill, making it possible for any child to be supported or challenged as they participate in KidWrite!
It also makes it possible for you to start at any time and have your child show steady improvement.
KidWrite!
brings that philosophy and experience online.

In the community
KidWrite! is dedicated to bringing kids together through Language Arts. As part of this, we have created KidWrite! ASL to make popular stories available in American Sign Language, with closed captioning. With these videos, a group of kids can enjoy a story together. We are also interviewing the authors to share their inspiration and process.

KidWrite! is also proud to support Comfort Cases for kids in foster care because no kids should carry their belongings in garbage bags.
In our experience, kids learn best when they’ve had enough to eat. Please join us in supporting No Kid Hungry, our favorite program from Share Our Strength.
