Online Writing Classes for Kids
Every kid has something important (and funny!) to say. The Writer’s Workshop for Kids offers *live* online writing classes for kids that are non-sectarian, interactive, and fun! The writing curriculum is standards-based and ideal for homeschoolers and after-school programs. We have tons of fun together and learn a lot along the way.
