YOUNG WRITERS PROGRAM :

The Young Writers Program is an effort to increase youth’s interest in writing and publishing by support, encouragement and workshops from other published authors.  The Young Writers Program is an 8 week program focusing on topics such as main ideas, descriptive and narrative writing, closing with great conclusions and other standardized skills required by the state to prepare our youth for writing and reading during testing. The writing program also conducts Word Wars and Battle of the books separately.  Word Wars is a contest between individual students, classes or schools to increase vocabulary usage in the form of stories, etc.  Battle of the books is an effort to enhance youth love of reading with a competition of who reads the most books from a participating class or school and tests for reading comprehension in the final face off competition.  The Young Writers Workshop, Word Wars and Battle of the books have really cool prizes that inspire our youth to read, comprehend, write and publish.
