<p>Does anyone have any suggestions for helping kids with their writing. My oldest is a natural writer. I’m a little worried about the youngest (7th grade). I know the 8th grade english teacher will whip her into shape (she’s an excellent teacher. Kids start out hating her, but eventually love her and are grateful for what she taught them). However, I’d like her to improve her skills before 8th grade. What have other parents done?</p>
