Creative
Writing
has
been and will always be a very
essential part of the English
language. It is also one of the
most difficult to learn and
master. How to express ideas
clearly and effectively and
communicate them in writing are
challenging abilities to
develop.
As
pertains to children, the basic
learning foundation of a child must
be cultivated. This can be
relatively easily accomplished when a
child is young. It is during
this period that their mind is the
most active, clear of opinions and
biases, and they are the most
adventurous. It is also during
this period that they are the most
eager to learn.
My
approach to Creative Writing
education for children is to train
them to develop their minds
creatively, helping them to shape
their thought processes so they can
think independently and with
insight. My Creative Writing
programmes enable children to read
fluently and with understanding, to
express themselves clearly and
effectively, to write creatively, and
to think
independently.
I also
understand the problems Asian and
foreign students face locally with
English language comprehension and
composition. Unfortunately,
these students will not find help,
guidance, assistance or instruction
for these in any currently existing
off-the-shelf Creative Writing
programme or standard Creative
Writing course of
instruction.
My
Creative Writing programmes and
instructional methods have been
developed taking into consideration
the Singapore Ministry of Education
syllabuses for Primary and Secondary
school grade levels. After more
than eight years developing and
fine-tuning these methods while
instructing students from this
region, I know they work. I
have also successfully applied these
methods to college students and
adults to help them improve their
English language comprehension and
communicating
capabilities.
At the
request of many parents, I now also
offer a specialized Phonics
Pre-School Reading Programme for
children aged 3 to 5. Each
class normally consists of 1 or 2
students. This ensures that
each child gets the most from every
lesson, preparing them for successful
entry into the Primary 1 grade
level.
In
today's world, almost all forms of
written communication; including
marketing, advertising and media
production, to mention but a few,
require some level of Creative
Writing skill, as well as an in depth
comprehension and understanding of
the English
language.
Please
contact me to review what my Creative
Writing and Vocabulary Enrichment
Programmes can do for your child, or
you.
