Creative writing is always a challenge for young children as there are so many steps involved in production of an excellent piece of writing. For example, from free flow writing of first draft to the edited, up levelled and published final draft, the list goes on.

Undoubtedly, it is imperative that for fiction story writing, children are equipped with a range of strategies such as use of five senses, mind maps and show, don’t tell etc. Adding three details in description of actions, characters and personalities can change any boring story into an interesting one that could hook a reader.
