Forte Speech & Language Therapy, a leading LA speech therapist, has published a new resource aimed at helping parents and caregivers nurture strong writing skills in children. Titled “5 Tips to Help Your Child Learn to Write,” the report provides expert guidance for supporting early literacy and language development through practical, at-home strategies.
Writing is more than just putting pencil to paper—it’s a key part of how children learn to express themselves, communicate ideas, and succeed academically. Yet for many children, developing writing skills can be a complex process that requires coordination between motor skills, language processing, and cognitive planning.
“Writing is one of the most valuable tools children develop, and like speech, it’s a foundational skill that can impact every area of learning,” said a spokesperson from Forte Speech & Language Therapy. “Our new report offers families straightforward, effective strategies to build those skills from the ground up.”
The report emphasizes the importance of consistency, encouragement, and multisensory learning in helping children become confident writers. Among the key tips is the recommendation to establish a daily writing routine—even if it’s only 10 minutes a day. Consistency reinforces learning and helps writing feel like a natural part of a child’s day.
It also encourages families to make writing fun by using creative, sensory-based activities. For example, children might trace letters in sand or shaving cream, use magnetic letters to build words, or dictate stories for adults to transcribe before copying them. These hands-on methods support both fine motor development and language engagement.
Another major focus of the guide is modeling. “Children learn a lot by watching us,” the report notes. When parents and educators write shopping lists, thank-you notes, or journal entries in front of children, they show writing’s real-world purpose and inspire kids to follow suit.
In addition, the report highlights the value of offering praise and support throughout the learning process. Rather than focusing on perfect spelling or penmanship, adults are encouraged to celebrate effort and creativity. This builds self-esteem and a sense of ownership over the writing process.
The full report is available to the public at no cost and can be accessed on Forte’s website.
Those interested in finding out more are encouraged to contact the clinic, which provides California virtual speech therapy services across the state.
