I created A Better Word because I love writing, and I believe I did not get enough avenues when I was younger to unleash my creativity. In the course of my journey, I have come to realize that students increasingly are unable to correlate their grammar lessons to actual writing when they put ink to paper. My mission is to help kids unleash their imagination onto the blank page-- and discover the fun that can come from writing! The skills developed through creative writing workshops improve literacy abilities, encourage creative thinking and build self-esteem. The idea behind A Better Word is to encourage children to read and write. With the onset of new age technology, children are moving away from what was a quintessential part of growing up--reading and writing for pleasure. My workshops are for all kinds of young writers, from the ones who hesitate over every word, to the ones who have a masterpiece in the making--and everyone in between. My method of instruction is designed to encourage kids of all backgrounds and learning levels to grow as writers. Workshop size is limited to ensure that each child receives plenty of guidance and feedback. Workshops vary anywhere between 12 - 24 weeks based on requirements.
